The ammo companies should be required to put a warning label on their products. “Do not use if you are a bad person”
Propaganda Analysis:
Attorneys at Arnold and Porter and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence brought the lawsuit for us, pro bono (makes them sound likes good guys, doesn’t it. Free is always going to cost you)
Why is there a law that says you cannot sue an ammunitions dealer that allowed 4,000 rounds of armor-piercing bullets into the wrong hands? (There is no such law. You did sue them, it is just that you lost and you knew the risks.)
you have an impenetrable barrier to using the judicial system to effect change in gun legislation in Colorado. (and that is the way it should be)
The Judge insinuated in his order that Brady should pay since he said they were the instigators. If this was a ploy designed to give the appearance that Brady was responsible and turn us against each other, it did not work. (stupid people, the judge was trying to help them)
How could they conclude it was the ammo dealers fault in any case? Let the Brady organization pay up.
“we thought it was outrageous that companies could sell a dangerous man an arsenal without getting any information about him.”
We all feel bad for the loss of their daughter but the court got it correct.
And lawyers wonder why they're as despised as they are!
One of the rare instances where a lefty gets nailed.
Post #7 quotes the story as stating that the parents bought a “camper” to live in. Look at the pic and tell me if you’d call that a “camper”. Guess “camper” fit the template better than the hateful “recreational vehicle”.
after all.its the attorney advising you if there a case..
...”the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. These people’s lawsuit was patently ridiculous As their attorneys should have advised them. Sounds like they got taken to the cleaners by some crooked or at least incompetent lawyers? Imagine that!!
It really does look like professional malpractice. If the black letter law was as described, the Complaint should never have been filed.
Nearly a quarter million dollars in fees. Maybe the judge was trying to make a point.
yeah but I think under frivolous lawsuits concept of paying the person you sued ..it should be at the attorney of the people that sued that pays
after all there a hired professional if there not giving proper legal advice not saying it was frivolous ...that’s malpractice....
by definition it has to be obviously frivolous ..it can’t be a close call but you just happened to lose
if the attorney is not feeling the pain then every ambulance chasers always going to tell every idiot out there with a frivolous lawsuit “sure I’ll take a shot not, cost me a damn dime in the end”
If you are an engineer/architect hired to build a building you at least put together a sound structure
same with an attorney have to put together a sound legal case....if it was bound to collapse they should be liable
“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”
Good one!
Life’s a byotch when you try to jerk around the constitution.
It’s not about the ammo dear.
It’s about a system that is non-repsponsive to mental illness and a failure to respond to serious and direct threats.
The campus police and local police were warned about him and they failed to act.
So, there was no way to restrict his access.
The only people that get their access restricted are men with an angry ex.
Agreed. Sorry for their loss, but they followed horrible advice.
Thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking.
I remember “The Station” fire; I believe the band manager and owners did time for that. Other companies (not Shell) contributed to a large settlement.
I bet if this was a conservative cause about religious liberty, a Go Fund Me campaign would be set up to pay those attorney fees, they’d raise triple what was owed in 2 days, and then Go Fund Me would quickly shut it down.
Liberals don’t give a damn when their symbolic tools get screwed after a failed crusade.
Maybe we should start suing car dealers and manufacturers who sell cars to alcoholics.
