Runaway Jury

Just saw runaway jury.  I thought it was entertaining but I thought the proximate cause issue would be impossible to overcome, so it felt a little unrealistic.  However, I did start to wonder if there actually would be less gun shot victims if gun manufactures could be sued for wrongful deaths.  Probably not.  Lawsuits have not stopped the tobacco industry, but I do wonder if there has been a decrease in smoking that is causally linked to lawsuits.
