For instance, gun manufactures should lose their immunity from liability since they lobby politicians in terms of gun reform which enters then into the politics game. Essentially anyone that has ever gotten anything from the government and contributes to political parties or specific campaigns would need to lose any sort of benefits they have received since they are now involved in politics.
It’s a really slippery slope that in reality no politician wants to go down. It would be an interesting approach to get corporate money out of politics.
The immunity for gun manufacturers was implemented in order to prevent the gun control groups from litigating manufacturers into oblivion. It does not indemnify them from damage cause by shoddy manufacturing or other such mistakes. It only prevents them from being sued directly when someone uses one of their products to kill someone. It's really no different than a car manufacturer being sued for someone speeding and then killing someone in an accident and them being sued because the same car had a faulty brake system. The far left really makes a stink about that immunity for firearms manufacturers, but it was implemented to blunt their ability to backdoor bankrupt these companies with scores of frivolous lawsuits.
As to the rest of your post, I agree.
