While certainly not required, caring about whether one’s company’s products are killing people is generally seen as a favorable quality in a CEO.

Generally gun company CEOs care a lot if their products are killing people by accident.


At 40-60k deaths per year in the U.S. alone, clearly the CEOs of car companies have a bigger weight on their shoulders.


Is there an example of a gun mfg CEO that didn’t care that their product hurt someone because of failure to understand/explain a feature?

If there is a gun with an “autoshooter” feature and people think it’s something it’s not, that seems relevant.

HN disagrees you should throw digs at people you don’t know but don’t like for owning tools you are fearful of. I don’t mind. I like when people are upfront about their positions, and in many place that will definitely get you internet virtue points.
