plaintiffs said indicated the company was marketing the weapon for
criminal activity."

I'd like to see a copy of that ad. As far as "high volume of firepower" goes wouldn't that work to the advantage of a person defending himself against a mob, such as in a riot or after a natural disaster such as a hurricane? Wouldn't that be legitimate self-defense activity? The government buys firearms on the basis of their putting out a "high volume of firepower", does that make the government a criminal organization?
