Why shouldn’t the gun industry be liable for damage done by its products, just like anybody else?

Erwin Chemerinsky writes for The Sacramento Bee, Oct. 12, 2017

If gun companies could be held liable the way all other manufacturers can be sued, they would not make such products or they would do far more to ensure the weapons could not be used for mass killings. But the 2005 Act dismissed all pending claims against gun manufacturers in both federal and state courts and preempted all future claims.
