CMV: Gun manufacturers shouldn't be held accountable because somebody used their product to harm others

So to preface this I'll say I'm very liberal. I'm very much the typical redditor, Sanders, weed, anti-war. All that stuff. But I also think it is illogical to blame a gun maker for what some independent person did.

For example:
"The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is a United States law which protects firearms manufacturers and dealersfrom being held liable when crimes have been committed with their products."(Wikipedia) 

Now replace the word firearms with hammers and the word dealers with hardware stores. 

I highly doubt we'd allow those suits to go through. A lot of people I usually agree with want to repeal this law so I hope somebody can explain it and CMV.

I agree that dealers selling guns legally should not be sued or penalized for someone using a gun to kill. However, if a dealer doesn't do the necessary background checks, or wait the three-day waiting period, or somehow doesn't follow the law, they should be able to be held accountable, should something go wrong.
