An end run around democracy
To me, the message of lawsuits against gun makers is simply "When democracy doesn't get you what you want, cheat." The constitutionally elected representatives of the American people aren't doing what Bill Clinton and his fellow gun grabbers want, so they've decided to simply disregard them. Believe it or not, there are even supporters of gun control who find the idea distasteful.

When people tell you that the people want gun control, ask them why the elected representatives of the people aren't passing it? When those people claim that the National Rifle Association is too powerful, ask them if it isn't true that the NRA derives all of its power from its members and supporters among the American people? When those people claim that they are only trying to push "common sense" gun control, ask them how they can claim the issue to be so cut and dry when so many many many people vehemently diagree?
