Should I be able to sue a gun manufacturer if
Apr 9, 2021, 3:09 PM

I take aim at an armed bad person breaking into my home, pull the trigger, and it does not fire?
Guns are made to kill people, and the defective gun did not kill. Should I be allowed to sue the gun manufacturer?

Sure. But you would have to prove the manufacturer had not

tested the gun well or knew there was a chance it might be defective.
You bought a gun to protect yourself from armed bad people - you have a reasonable right to expect it to waste said bad person.

If it's lack of proper functioning caused you bodily harm

pain and suffering due to no fault of your own and it had some defect of something, sure. If it functioned properly, and you killed the neighbor's drunk kid who stumbled into the wrong house, no, because the product worked as manufactured.
Might want to consider bringing in the ammo maker as well, if they had a bad round.
And guns are made to fire a bullet that kills things. Deer, all kinds of animals, including people sometimes. Cars are made to move people and goods around. Sometimes they kill people as well. If an axle breaks for no reason, design defect, causing a wreck and injury or death, you can sue the car maker. If you're drunk and hit a tree, no. If someone else was drunk and hit you, yes.
It's not that difficult.

Are you should the bullet manufacturer isn't at fault?

could be a bad primer.
Also - maybe you let the powder get wet because you did not properly store the ammunition. Or maybe there is some neglect on your part in how you have care for the gun itself... lot to review

Correct answer, unfortunately. Doesn't mean you'll win, tho.***
