Hiding behind government? They same government that makes BILLIONS taxing cigs?

That's the way it is with Crony Capitalists. The Government provides protection, and the Company kicks a little back in consideration.

Without government protection, the tobacco industry would have been sued out of existence, long ago. We would all be better off if it had been. But, instead, they continue under the Governments protection, and people continue to be injured and killed.

Using that "logic" for lack of a better word, ammo manufacturers should be sued for shootings in Chicago. Rope makers should be sued for people who hand themselves.

We are supposed to be a free country; your post is the ANTITHESIS of that.
