suing beretta or any arms manufacturer is the equivalent of suing budweiser or chevrolet for a drunk driving death.

The tragedy that led to the Adames lawsuit in Illinois occurred eight years ago, when 13-year-old Billy Swan aimed and fired a Beretta pistol at a friend who had come over to play, Joshua Adames, who also was 13. The gun belonged to Billy’s dad, a Cook County sheriff’s deputy. Billy had taken out the gun’s clip before aiming it, believing that would make it harmless. A bullet that had remained in the gun’s chamber killed Joshua.
Given the anti-gun mindset in Illinois, don't they have laws about storing guns so that "children" cannot access them?
Shouldn't the dead boys parents be bringing a suit against Mr Swan (Swain?) and shouldn't the Illinois authorities be prosecuting him for negligent homicide?
