Interesting that this isn't so yet, considering that many drinking 
establishments are thinking twice about pouring that next drink. The owners
can often be held accountable for any injuries/deaths that the patron
might have caused when he/she leaves the place.

I would expect that the same lines of thinking should be applied to the
sale of guns, too.

Follow-ups have been re-directed to misc.legal.
