Lawsuits unfairly target gun makers

Re “Bill Shielding Gun Makers From Suits Gains Support,” July 27
If your neighbor borrowed your chain saw and cut up his wife, would a lawsuit against you or the manufacturer of the chain saw be reasonable? If someone stole your car and used it to rob a bank, would it be fair to sue you and the carmaker? The answer to these questions is, of course not.
Liability suits should be for defective products. Why then should the gun manufacturers be singled out (especially pertinent because they make the guns for our police and military). Finally, the Senate, including many Democrats, has seen the light and hopefully will pass legislation to stop these ridiculous lawsuits.
