In the chapter, Controlling Gun Manufacturers Would Reduce Gun Violence by Greider William he thinks we should control gun manufacturers because many people have died from gun accidents. But many companies are being sued for these accidents. So now these companies are making their guns with safety features. Like Colt's Manufacturing Co. which created the smart gun. "A gun that won't shoot if it's being held in the wrong hands" (Greider 180). These safety features however will only reduce gun violence a little, because of homicides.
I completely agree with this chapter. I think that a company should be sued for not having any kind of safety feature, keeping innocent people from getting hurt. But I do not think a person should sue a company, if the gun has a safety feature, because they never used the safety. However, no matter how safe funs become there will always be people killed by them; mostly because of homicides. So there is always going to be gun violence no matter what.
