The craziest thing about all this is how it clearly shows how few, if any consumer protections exist in the gun industry. People have spent years trying to argue with the manufacturer that they are selling an unsafe product, theres been lawsuits, but still there haven't been any meaningful repercussions for Sig. This might be a poor comparison, but childrens toys get recalled on suspicion alone whereas these have recorded instances where they've shown to have a potentially lethal design flaw.
It just doesn't feel possible to make any consumer safety regulation for guns that wouldn't ultimately "infringe" as it were.
At the end of the day it was always designed to cause massive bodily harm at a distance. Hell, Sig could just remarket the 320 as a competition pistol for like the consumer accuracy division or whatever because of the "competition read light trigger pull" and then it's a compelling sell.
