So I won't say that the families don't have a chance of winning - they are just using 'The American Way'

I was not aware of these facts. I agree that the store should be help accountable if it turns out that they knew the man was not supposed to purchase firearms.
I still do not believe that the manufacturer is responsible. If the store was known for selling firearms to felons than the state should have closed it down. It is not the responsibility of the manufacturer to regulate their customers, is it?
