2. Those are what I believe to be the facts

To my way thinking, murder is evil but numerous firearm activities are not. Therefore, the acts of making, selling, buying and owning a firearm are not innately evil. Since the user of the firearm is truly the one who determines the target and is responsible for that choice, the makers, distributors and sellers are not to blame. In the case of Badger Guns, for example, I think the shop was found to be engaged in activity comparable or friendly to straw purchasing, which is illegal.

Some of these types of actions are known as SLAPP suits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public_participation

If I were involved at all in the firearms business, I would move my headquarters to Texas. In Texas the first conviction for barratry is a misdemeanor but the second is a felony.

Barratry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barratry_%28common_law%29

>> Barratry: is a legal term with several meanings. In common law, barratry is the offense committed by people who are "overly officious in instigating or encouraging prosecution of groundless litigation" or who bring "repeated or persistent acts of litigation" for the purposes of profit or harassment.
