The shooter was diagnosed with mental illnesses.
The weapon used was sold legally to his mother, not to the shooter.
The shooter used an illegally-obtained weapon after he tried to buy one legally, but didn't want to deal with the waiting period -- most likely because he was afraid the background check would turn up his medical issues.
So, how can the manufacturer be blamed for:
(1) selling a legally produced, marketed and sold item
(2) complying with more government controls than applied to pharmaceuticals
(3) selling through an FFL to a citizen who passed the background check
(4) keeping the weapon locked in a gun safe via the owner
(5) and having the weapon stolen and used in a crime by a mentally ill relative?
Maybe we can sue the parents of the Bushmaster company owners, investors and employees, since they were responsible for birthing and raising these gun-making monsters!!
