Anti Gun Debate

For numerous years there has been an in-depth argument on the almost taboo subject of fire-arms. The great debate of course circles the main subject of whether or not guns should be allowed in general, and then branches out into mini subjects on matters such as “should guns be allowed in public?”, “should gun control be more strict?”, and “what requirements should there be on being able to own a gun?”. These questions usually erupt with answers that are mixed with liberal and conservative views. But, there is a firearm question that for the most part can only be answered with either a liberal or conservative view. That question is, “should gun makers be held responsible for deaths and mass shootings related to guns?”. I, myself
Truthfully, the economy as well as the numbers of jobs we hold in America would go even further down the drain. Although the gun business is not the most major part of our economy, it stills does numbers.

Speaking honestly with the principals and morals of America in mind, if we are allowed to sue people in the gun industry based on something they cannot control such as gun violence, then we can sue any industry that has the potential to be dangerous and contribute to the crime in America. I can sue Johnson & Johnson because I swallowed some shampoo and now am in danger.

With this mentality people would be sued left and right and businesses would begin to lose money, and when businesses lose money we all lose money as a whole because these businesses pay taxes to the government to keep their business going but if they cannot provide money, they get shut down ultimately leading to America falling down another deep depression. The increase in suing and decrease in money flow also contributes to the loss of jobs in America which would in turn lead to an even bigger economic depression, one that could not be fixed without changing the
