“If it worked he could sue an auto company because the would-be assassin drove to the site of the assault.”

We tried that. The evidence was found unconvincing. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoISmGnjSKg

This is as fine an example of a “Steve Dallas lawsuit” as one could hope to find!

They don’t hire prison guards for their brilliance. I just don’t know how one of you attorneys took a serious attempt at promoting this suit. If it worked he could sue an auto company because the would-be assassin drove to the site of the assault. Why didn’t he sue himself, and by extension the State Dept. of Corrections, for failing to find the phone that the inmate used to give the instructions? The outcome is sort of good news for the gun industry. The gun-grabbers have been trying to get traction with the argument that manufacturers should know that their products may be used in a crime, therefore they have liability.
