Hmm, I read this as: "he who sells guns is liable for the resulting acts: threatening, killing, ..."
Taking this further, if I am involved in a car accident I should ofcourse be able to sue the person who built my car, as he is liable for the resulting act of me getting an accident.
Funny how some people seem to have stopped thinking.

all the best,

Or the car is "built for tearing up mountain roads at no less than 90 MPH!" It's not illegal to build something that *could* be used for breaking the law, it's illegal to advertise it as *good* for breaking the law.
