It said, well, you do a lot of damage to people's health. You lie to them and deceive them. You probably put additives in that increase the users level of physical addiction. Pay us and we'll let you continue to do these bad things. Only if we were complete idiots.
Guns are dangerous.
Only an idiot would believe they do more good than harm. Think about it. Since the government has already made a bargain with the NRA to allow the continued sale of almost any kind of gun you can imagine, we have no alternative but to hire lawyers and sue the gun industry. Not only does the taxpayer get to fund the legal challenge, they also get to pay the penalty. We could do the same for weapons manufacturers.
