Would telling gun manufacturers the names of the people his product killed, lead to the outlawing of guns?

would you also tell them who was killed committing a crime, and those who were killed by criminals?

How about we tell the auto companies how many people their product kills? Then we can outlaw automobiles? I live in a big crowded city so it is hard to see why some people own guns, but after seeing some other parts of the country I realized that some people really need their guns, to hunt, or protect themselves from animals, or just for sport (what else do they have to do out there but shoot at cans and clay pigeons?) Nonetheless, the have the right to own them. You can choose not to have one in your home if you wish.

The use of any properly operating product is the sole responsibility of the user. Be it a car, baseball bat, crowbar, knife, toxin, 15th story window, gun or otherwise. It’s unfortunate that some people will implement an item for unsavory purposes, but it isn’t the manufacturer’s fault. I don’t understand the modern day insistence of laying blame on those who had nothing to do with a crime or offense. In this case, go with the source and blame the scumbag who pulled the trigger.

No, being that the right to bear arms is in the constitution, you're going to have a pretty hard time outlawing guns. Particularly since I, and most gun owners I know, will not peacefully give up that right.

Don't you think that the gun makers know that their product kills people, same with the car makers, alcohol makers, hell even baseball bat makers. It's not their fault that idiots use their products for evil. For every person that owns a gun for criminal purposes there is 100 who don't.

No chance. In the 1st place, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" is literally true... and firmly believed by gun makers.
And in thge 2nd place, guns are not made by people, they are made by corporate businesses which have the capacity to replace officers with "conscience" with intelligent sociopaths (already lined up around the block looking for signs of weakness).
Sigh...

No. Unfortunately that's one of the purposes of guns, to kill people.

Maybe, but that would be a really, really stupid idea. In a society where guns are illegal, guess who are the only people that have guns?

No it would not because it is not the gun 's fault. It is the person handling the guns fault..And our U.S. Constitution guarentees us the right to bear arms.

Once that gun gets up on its own, walks over, and kills someone by itself, then that argument might be valid.
