Legally Targeting Gun Makers: Lessons for Business Ethics

Ronald M. Green

Business Ethics Quarterly, 2000, vol. 10, issue 1, 203-210

Abstract: As a “case” in business ethics, the conduct of the firearms industry is hardly dilemmatic. The responsible choices before firearm manufacturers have long been clear, if largely neglected. The great interest here for business ethicists lies in understanding how civil law and ethics can work together to bring a rogue industry under control. Business ethicists have a role to play in shaping the formation of legal standards in this area. In turn, emerging concepts of manufacturers’ liability can make a contribution to the teaching of business ethics.
