I guess the Judge and the plaintiffs lawyers didn't read Phillips v. LuckyGunner, LLC.

All the arguments I've seen surrounding this issue are entirely emotional, and lack any rational/logical basis. They will not support holding automobile manufacturers liable for damages caused by drunk drivers, but want firearm manufacturers held liable for damages caused by their products being used illegally...and the same contradiction regarding advertising. Even though I can make sense of it psychologically, it doesn't make it easier to deal with.

Maybe the phone company too.

These aren't typical gun control arguments. Some people have decided that shutting down manufacturing is the only way to get rid of "assault weapons", so it's treading into new territory.

This lawsuit is more dangerous than Remington firearms.
