[Vision2020] How Many More . . .

[Donovan Arnold]

It doesn't even have to be a legal thing. Just announcing in the media over and over again how a particular gun manufacturer or distributor of weapons killed a bunch of children would be enough to shape them up.

I just think you need to hold each person in the chain of ownership accountable to the degree they were. I really don't believe that manufacturers are completely unaware who buys and how their products are distributed. All major manufacturers know the supply, demand, and logistics of their business or they would be out of business. However, they are not as responsible as the person that sells to known criminals.
I consider what you are suggesting as an extension above-and-beyond what I was suggesting. I don't object to your ideas, though I suspect that cases brought to prosecute such crimes would necessarily be larger and more complicated. Notwithstanding that, I don't see any particular reason, other than NRA opposition, etc., etc., why the federal RICO laws, appropriately amended for specific application to cases such as these, could not be particularly effective in providing the basis for assigning responsibilities and liabilities such as you are suggesting and implying.
