In September, Breitbart News reported that the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence joined with Sandy and Lonnie Phillips in suing Lucky Gunner and other firearm-related stores for selling ammunition and other supplies to alleged Aurora theater gunman, James Holmes.
Holmes allegedly opened fire on movies-goers watching The Dark Knight Rises on July 20, 2012.
In late March, Senior District Judge Richard Matsch threw out the suit and held that Lucky Gunner and the others “are entitled to an award of reasonable attorney fees and costs.”

I'll hold off on the 'sky is falling' mourning until I see what Brady's crowd really does.
I don't do prophecy well.

I understand their grief and I think it’s unscrupulous lawyers that hound them to sue for this or that ...
No doubt the brady bunch lawyers pushed them to sue. At least that’s my opinion. Will anyone ever pay up?
Nothing sad about it. We all have horrid events in our lives. These people tried to make money on theirs at the expense (rights/financial) of others.
I hope they are stuck holding the bag to serve as an example to others.
Didn’t they try to sue the movie theater over something like security? Didn’t they have “No Guns Allowed” signage? (that was meant to be sarcastic)
“In late March, Senior District Judge Richard Matsch threw out the suit and held that Lucky Gunner and the others “are entitled to an award of reasonable attorney fees and costs.””
Good news. This will help keep all the frivolous lawsuits down. And stop the anti-2nd amendment groups strategy of forcing legal gun businesses out of business by using non-stop frivolous lawsuits to bankrupt legal businesses.
We could unclog the US courts real quick if we instituted a “Loser pays” policy.
Interesting. I had to google “looser pays” to see if I spelled it right the first time. I didn’t.
The attorney fee award is a big hairy deal legally. I expect the Brady Center to appeal it as far as they can.
