This misses the point, as it stands gun manufacturers can not be sued for negligence if their products k**l someone. If Toyota builds a car knowing that one in every 50,000 will explode in a side impact accident they can of course be sued, why is this not true for firearm manufacturers? There is readily available Technology that would make firearms safer. Biometrics could be used on firearms to make them operable much like we now have to open phones. Simple markers are available on some firearms to show a round in the chamber.
Beyond this firearms used to be advertised and sold much more as sporting goods for the outdoorsman than weapons of war. Below are current and old ads for firearms. The difference is pretty obvious.
Shooting advertised as an activity for sportsmen
Assault weapons advertised to man boys insecure in their masculinity and cowering from the boogyman

While I will make no secret that Trump is not my favorite President, this obsession with disarming the American public may well give Trump a 2nd term. It will lose Democrats a lot of e*******l v**es in the west and midwest. Here in Vermont, we have few restrictions on the ownership or use of firearms, except one, passed a couple of years ago, in which an out-of-state billionaire literally bought the v**es of Democratic legislators to ban the sale (but not the ownership) of 30 round magazines. Yet, we have one of the lowest crime rates in the US. The reason is simple. If arms are banned by law, law abiding folks tend to obey the law. Criminals do not. The result is that government has disarmed the criminals victims for them.
It seems that a lot of what we do is based on precedent. Is it a good idea to establish a precedent of passing laws that violate the Constitution? The next guy in power may not like the part of the Constitution that you like.
While Biden is at it, why not hold car manufacturers responsible for car accidents, and kitchen implement manufacturers responsible for accidents in kitchens, and laboratory equipment manufacturers responsible for accidents in research and school labs?

Time for the grasshopper to learn: The fabled Toyota you speak of has a manufacturing defect...obvious difference. Except to non-thinking ELWNJ such as yourself.
Remember: Criminals do not obey the law......
