On July 13, 1993, Gian Luigi Ferri entered the offices of a law firm against which he had a grudge. Using two semiautomatic assault weapons (TEC-9 and TEC-DC9) manufactured and distributed by Navegar, Inc., he killed eight persons and wounded six others before killing himself. The survivors and the families of some of those who had died sued Navegar, based in part on negligence. They claimed that Navegar had a duty not to create risks to the public beyond those inherent in the lawful use of firearms. Please discuss the following questions: 1) Do you agree with the appellate court that Navegar could be held negligent in marketing the TEC-DC9? What should the California Supreme Court decide? 2) Should gun manufacturers EVER be held liable for deaths caused by nondefective guns? Why or why not? The subject is legal environment of business.

(Please DO NOT use California Civil Code CIV Section 1714.4 in your answer)
