Gun sellers, makers not liable

Good news for gun manufacturers and sellers: The Arizona Supreme Court says they can't be held liable when their products are used to kill someone. Without comment, the court upheld the Court of Appeals decision throwing out the claims of families of three employees of a Tucson Pizza Hut who were shot to death in a 1999 robbery. That court rejected the contention by the survivors that the defendants had a duty to have procedures designed to keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have them or foreseeably might commit a crime.
