Will they also sue General Motors for making his getaway car?
To: Slings and Arrows
It was highly foreseeable to (the) defendants that their potential customers included persons with criminal intent So exactly how does the counter clerk tell if someone has criminal intent?
To: Slings and Arrows
Why not sue WB-DC for their antihero fiction about psychotic killers?

If sleazebag lawyers are able to start convincing a bunch of idiots in the jury pool that this is legitimate... it will mean big problems. We are aviation enthusiasts; the lawyers killed off the small airplane industry in the 1980s. They would manage to convince juries that accidents caused 100% by pilot error were related to manufacturing and design defects.

This is a case that will go nowhere fast.
Won’t see the light of settlement. Let alone, discovery.
Once the ammunition has been sold. It’s solely the buyer’s responsibility. And no one else’s.

Palsgraf v. Long Island RR Co. Judgment for defendants.
“We’re coming for you.” The plaintiff’s lawyer sounds like a real tool.

Sue the manufacturer because you know without something to eat that day he would not have the strength to do it. .

Lonnie Phillips, the mother of one of Holmes’s victims, was the one who said, “We’re coming for you.”

In the more than 2 years since the Aurora shooting, no judge, DA or any of the numerous psychologists/psychiatrists have declared or adjudicated the accused shooter to be mentally ill...
And yet the ammo dealer, engaged in lawful business activity, and with mere minutes to determine the buyer’s mental state (as if somehow this could be possible over the ‘Net?) should have somehow known that the transaction should not be made because this buyer was/is criminally insane and planning a mass shooting?
All the times I’ve bought ammo online (often a couple thousand rounds at once) and I’ve yet to see the checkbox for “Are you insane or a psycho killer?”
My heart goes out to all who lost loved ones in that crime...But the blame lies solely with the person who pressed the trigger that awful night...And once/if convicted, long past time he paid the price...
Of courswe this is Colorado, so with Chickenpooper in the Guvner’s office, no death sentence for Mr. Holmes...

I remember a case where a man got drunk, and then climbed into a Cessna at a local airport and took off.
Of course, the plane crashed and the “pilot” died. His widow sued Cessna Aircraft.
If I were the judge, I would have dismissed the lawsuit and told the woman, “Madam, I’m sorry you’re a widow, but your fool of a husband was killed because he did something incredibly stupid. This case is dismissed, and you have to pay Cessna’s legal fees out of your husband’s estate.”

I'm sure he ate at McDonald's once or twice so sue them for keeping him nourished and alive to do the deed.

"We're putting them on notice," Lonnie Phillips said
"We're coming after you." Now that sounds like a really stupid thing to say to online retailers (that are) selling ammunition, tear gas, high-capacity magazine(s) and body armor
.
