Podwerks is a Texan after all, you have to consider that shooting someone for a minor infraction is just a figure of speech in some parts of the country.
The point is that the salesperson was negligent if he knowingly sold that trailer for use with that TV. I certainly wouldn't shoot him but I would advocate that he be prosecuted for negligent homicide if the worst were to happen. The question would be whether the salesman's act constitutes ordinary negligence or rises to the level of gross negligence. One can argue that it is possible to load that trailer and TV and be within specs while towing, but in practice anyone in the business should know that it's not practical.

I am happy to say that when we replaced our Dakota, the sales person at the Ford dealership made a point of asking about the weight we proposed to tow and make it clear that he would not participate in a sale of a truck that could not handle the trailer weight.
We don't know the circumstances of the sale were, but if the sales person knew that TV would be inadequate, he certainly should have cautioned against it. Maybe s/he did. And yes, saying that someone should be taken out and shot is a figure of speech that one does not take literally. I've used it many times myself. But under the present circumstances, perhaps, it is a metaphor that might be best left for another time.
