Dick Locher’s ability to capture the absurdities of life through political cartooning culminated in his winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1983 and garnering top honors from the Sigma Delta Chi/Society of Professional Journalists in the same year.

Dispose without opening.

To drive a car, you have to have to pass a test to get a license and have proof of insurance. In 2005, Bush signed a law to shield gun companies from being sued. If the companies can’t be sued then it’s time for gun owners to carry insurance.

Following your logic, let’s pass a law that places liability with auto makers for traffic deaths caused by the driver.

The box is missing the disclaimer “may not work as intended” since gun laws only stroke the egos of the lefty Kool Aid lovers.

The “toy” includes a GPS system that disables the gun in designated areas. A blood flow fingerprint reader trigger that only fires for the registered user(s).
.
Bullets for all old guns are illegal, thus obsoleting the guns.
.
Bullets for all new guns come with “dna” microdata dust throughout the bullet that identifies the owner.
.
Good news, your gun can now be fully automatic and you can carry it where ever you want! But it won’t work in MOST of those places.

Go ahead pick any other method that children are killed. Do you favor those? There is no reasoning in your question.

Public Law 109–92
109th Congress
An Act
To prohibit civil liability actions from being brought or continued against manufacturers,
distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition for damages,
injunctive or other relief resulting from the misuse of their products by others.
………………….
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-109publ92/pdf/PLAW-109publ92.pdf
………………….
There are exceptions but the actual purpose of the bill was to give relief to gun manufacturers, importers, dealers from already pending litigation.
…………………..
Both sides…
“Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s executive vice president, called the vote “a historic day for the NRA and also for the Second Amendment.” Saying that Congress “saved the firearms industry today,” LaPierre asserted that “the people that want to ban guns in this country have not been able to win in the political arena” and thus have resorted to “a blizzard of litigation to bankrupt the industry with legal fees.” He estimated that the law would cut off 15 current lawsuits around the country.
But Dennis Henigan, director of the legal action project at the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, called the legislation “such an egregious piece of special-interest legislation, it is almost shameless.” He said the law would violate a basic premise of tort law because it “retroactively bars lawsuits against a particular industry, even if the members of that industry behave negligently.”

Are you accusing me of being pro abortion? I like to consider myself neutral on that issue.
Seriously though, how many laws were violated in that slaughter? How is another one gong to help? Last I checked killing children outside the womb was illegal (as well as killing school teachers, principals and your mom (not YOURS specifically but mothers as a group)).
The problem with chronic kool aid drinkers is that you think a law will solve any problem and that the only good can come from the government and life is a little more complicated.
Another thing you all fail to see is the more these horrible tragedies are prostituted, the more guns are sold. I’ve read that after every mass shooting gun sales go through the roof because people are afraid of politicians using the dead for political gain.

Telling a woman what to do with her body… Well, you don’t really need two kidneys do you?
Yes, it will lead to that.
