It's a novel idea, but it also follows that if an AR manufacturer (of which there are hundreds, if not thousands) doesn't advertise, or if it does advertise, clearly shows Bambi or a target in the ad, that's okay.
Buy 80 percent lower futures.
news item 3 weeks from now:
“industry experts are baffled by an unexpected increase in firearms sales, especially assault rifles . . .”
Could this be strategy to set a precedent that these lawsuits are totally stupid? I’m thinking that rejecting the case doesn’t explicitly answer the question. But hearing the case and declaring “This is BS” might prevent all future cases.
But I don’t understand legal matters.
Yes - They will litigate the Mfgs out of existence.
I wonder where Justice Roberts is in all this?
I think once a lawsuit is lost by a gunmaker, that can then proceed to the SCOTUS. The only reason one should be able to sue a manufacturer is for a manufacturing defect. If the gun used shot straight and reliably, there was no manufacturing defect.
I never see any ads, and I don't buy trade magazines ?
Wonder what the prosecution has on that ?
Stupid lawsuit.
WOW! Guess booze makers, car makers, power tool makers and on and on and on better watch out.
So now if you are a victim of a hit and run, or drunk driver, or any other automobile accident we can sue the manufacturer?
This isn’t criminal. How many on the jury? And how must they vote for award?
It's a novel idea, but it also follows that if an AR manufacturer (of which there are hundreds, if not thousands) doesn't advertise, or if it does advertise, clearly shows Bambi or a target in the ad, that's okay.
Does the Supreme court think Auto Makers should be liable for all violence involving vehicles on the road then?
Interesting opinion...
I would think they’d have to prove that Lanza saw the advertising. Otherwise, why would it matter?
I guess we must place our faith in a jury then. Probably a better shot then the SCOTUS these days.
Sure glad we’ve got that 5-4 majority in the SCOTUS...
both unconstitutional and illegal
PDJT needs to put more honest people into the courts
I think they should sue google, too. Much more money there! /sRemington didn’t sell the weapon to the shooter. The mother bought the guns legally, and Lanza chose to shoot her with them. Can’t punish her, so let’s go after the manufacturer. If this is where they’re going, then they need to go after the companies who produced the raw materials that were used to make the weapon. And in the case of wooden stocks, to show how ridiculous this all is, they need to let the company who cut down the trees to make them, to be sued, and also the person who owned the land the trees grew on. This is friggin’ nuts.
How many car manufacturers have been sued because their cars killed people?
I’m going after Ford
