"The jury's decision affirms our collective wisdom that it's not the gun which kills, it's the person who pulls the trigger.".... by Kuan

Kuan, I am not sure how this statement conforms to my notion of a business or person not being held responsible for something which he has NO ability to stop... except to not sell the gun.. but if the product does function as it was supposed to physically then the blame should be entirely on the person who takes the action..
I was saying the grandfather, due to lack of effective control of the gun should be sued while the gun manufacturer or seller should not be included AT ALL due to their lack of ability to control the grandfather's or the boy's actions.
That way the judge would not have to remove those people after a jury ruled them (whatever percent) co liable....
Of course, like another thread on this forum , the boy might have used a machete if the gun was not available...
