If the amendment passed that allows gun manufacturers to be sued for damage their product causes (with no malfunction of said weapons-they're not saying defective), could one then sue car manufacturers for damage their product causes? That could be some BIG money there!

California ceased to be a state and became an asylum long ago.

No. California has had a law on the books that specifically protected gun manufacturers and retailers from product liability suits. The legislature plans to delete the law to expose the manufacturers and retailers. The problem arises when a gun is used in a crime. You must determine if it was acquired BEFORE or AFTER the legislature makes this change. If acquired before, then you have an "ex post facto" problem e.g. the manufacturer and retailer legally sold the product with protection from suits. Once again, the idiots in the legislature don't have their heads screwed on straight.
