Why do the Gun Capitalists Have Legal Immunity?

<p>On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard &nbsp;Wolff discuss how outrage is spreading across the country in the wake &nbsp;of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. The complete failure and &nbsp;cowardice on the part of the police allowed &nbsp;the killer to carry out the massacre. And the gun manufacturers who &nbsp;profit while mass shootings devastate the country are given special &nbsp;legal protections. How are the arms industry capitalists shielded from &nbsp;accountability?</p> <p>Professor Richard Wolff is an author &amp; co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work.
