Why do the Gun Capitalists Have Legal Immunity?

On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard  Wolff discuss how outrage is spreading across the country in the wake  of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. The complete failure and  cowardice on the part of the police allowed  the killer to carry out the massacre. And the gun manufacturers who  profit while mass shootings devastate the country are given special  legal protections. How are the arms industry capitalists shielded from  accountability?
