It depends on what you mean. Generally speaking, it is the manufacturer's responsibility to fix the problem, within the limits of warranty or product liability (just like a car or TV or any other prodcut).

However, it is the gun user's responsibility to always treat and operate the gun in a safe manner, regardless of any safety mechanism. A gun operated unsafely is unsafe, regardless of what gadgets it has.
