Should victims of gun violence be allowed to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers?
Yes, any business should be held liable if the primary use of its product is for illegal activity
If a car's brakes fail due to a manufacturing defect and cause an accident, the manufacturer can be held liable.
In the same vein, should gun manufacturers not also have a responsibility to incorporate safety measures or checks that could potentially prevent a firearm from being misused, especially given the higher risk associated with these products?

The only way this counterargument makes sense is if the shooting was accidental due to a flaw in the firearms design. Mass shootings are committed by mass shooters intent on committing murder. There is no way for the manufacturer to know the shooter would have gotten their hands on the gun thus there is no legal liability.
