Constitutional gun rights do not erase manufacturers’ moral responsibility

Evidence

However, the Second Amendment does not remove the moral issues involved in producing guns that are used for killing people rather than for sport and hunting. Lethal semiautomatic pistols are not designed for target practice or hunting elk. This section addresses the gun industry’s moral disengagement from the manufacture of increasingly deadly wares, marketing and sales practices, and the granting of protections from civil liability. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 1090
