I guess if you think that was a documentary, our definitions of the word differ.
I'm not doubting what your experience was. I do agree decisions are made all the time in the business world with the bottom line being the 800 pound gorilla in the room when they decide.
This thread isn't about that, though. It's about how Remington is being sued because someone used one of their products. More people are killed every year by drunk drivers, but no one sues Ford/GM/Toyota, to name a few, because it doesn't make sense. They aren't responsible for the illegal acts of others. Remington isn't responsible for a young man killing his mother, illegally accessing her legally owned rifle, and going into a gun free zone hunting unarmed children, and adults.
When the Newtown tragedy occurred, and the debate started about arming school staff, I made pointed references to how that principal must have felt, when she looked into the CCTV monitor, and saw Adam Lansa, armed with a rifle and a pistol, shooting his way through the security doors. What did she have to defend the children under her charge, a stapler and a dirty eraser?
