Ammo Lawsuit Against Cabelas Could Mean BIG Changes For Firearms Retailers

If the Biden/Harris regime takes over, they have repeatedly said they will go after the 2nd Amendment.

Will they send law enforcement to people's home to confiscate guns, perhaps, will they directly ban so called "assault weapons", perhaps, but this video explains how I think the 2nd Amendment will be attacked..

Remember Sandy Hook and mentally deranged person using a Bushmaster AR-15 manufactured by Remington killed numerous children ??

A lawsuit was filed by the victims blaming Remington, that lawsuit was allowed to proceed against Remington and ultimately help cause their bankruptcy...

Now this case, Cabela's is getting sued and so far the courts are allowing the case to move forward....

Basically two 19-year old kids were playing around with a 45 caliber handgun that went off killing one of the kids....

The family of the victim is suing Cabela's where the ammunition was purchased for negligence, saying it's illegal for a 19-year old to own a handgun therefore they were negligent in selling him the ammunition.

Cabela's response is that 45 caliber ammunition can be used in a number of rifles, except those rifles were banned in NY where this all took place...

Here's the way the Democrats will take your guns, they will bankrupt the ammunition manufacturers...They will attempt to bankrupt the gun manufacturers, they could require expensive liability insurance....any number of legal hurdles will be enacted to bankrupt any company involved in the gun business and create so many barriers to purchase of firearms it will be practically impossible to own a gun...

The parents caused it by raising incompetent fools. The immature young men could have caused their own deaths in many equally stupid ways (drugs, driving stupidly, playing with nail guns, etc.).

[dynachrome]

19 year old “kids”. Darwin winner. Stupid adults not kids.

[Manly Warrior]

Except it is not illegal for a 19 yo to own a handgun per federal law. Illegal for one under 21 to purchase one, however.

Besides, Does not NY have safe storage laws?

If cars, alcohol, hammers skateboards etc ad nauseam makers are not liable for product misuse then how can firearm ammo or brick makers a be?

[metmom]

That’s why we’re stocking up and the black market exists.

[itsahoot]

Home Depo knew or should have known that the nails they sell could be used in home made bombs. Yep anyone with an eye can see where this is going. That gas station knew or should have known that driver was going to get drunk on Saturday and drive into that family.

[srmanuel]

I agree, but lawsuits like this if allowed to proceed will cause tremendous damage to Cabela’s and eventually anyone else involved the firearms business....

Want to defend your rights?

Wise up! Stop running around in circles protesting and complaining. Start an effort now to flip Democrat Senate and House seats in 2022. Ridicule and scold anyone who posts nonsense about Republican conspiracies against us.

Lindsey Graham is a good example. He makes compromising statements to get elected in his home state and to lull the Democrat opposition in the Senate. But he comes through on getting good judges appointed, defending our Second Amendment rights and defending a Republican president from attacks (e.g., impeachment).

Get a majority Republican Senate and House in Congress to secure your rights. It’s that simple.

Conspiracies? LOL. FACT: Graham is already talking about another amnesty before China Joe has been awarded the stolen election. Good luck “flipping” seats with 30 million illegals mostly voting Democrat thanks to Republicans like Graham.

This is one of the reasons it is a good idea to have presses, bullet molds, primers, powder, and brass on hand for every firearm you own. I even make my own gas checks for rifle cartridges. The investment is not that great compared to what people are spending to purchase their guns.

I have purchased plenty of primers and reloading equipment from Cabellas over the years, but I mostly use other vendors like Midway USA.

“Want to defend your rights? Wise up! Stop running around in circles protesting and complaining. Start an effort now to flip Democrat Senate and House seats in 2022.”

You mean, like voting for Trump in 2020, when the fix was in? Do you honestly think the Rats will allow for ANY Dem seat to be lost again? Just watch: The two Georgia GOP senate seats are going to flip because the Rats have mastered voter fraud, and they know it’s a winner. They will now take their formula national.

The problem is the courts, not the senate. Its not even the judges. These are civil suits, you just have to find a jury of idiots. The only way to stop it is with liability protection laws, which of course they will give to big tech, but never to gun makers. Eventually there will havd to be sanctuary states for guns and ammo, I’m sure. We’ll never have enough control of Congress to get any help there.

[bigbob]

This is probably just how they’ll do it.

Several variations of That,
Is This The Original?
Thanks.

California has its gun laws precisely because of open borders policies supported by the GOP. The idea the GOP will save the 2A is unfortunately a fantasy. Even without fraud GA and NC are almost gone due to immigration and blue state migration. They WILL be Democrat states. The only question is if it will be in 2,4 or 10 years.

“Get a majority Republican Senate and House in Congress to secure your rights. It’s that simple.”

But it isn’t that simple. The Dems will cheat in the Mid-Term Elections too, using once again mail-in voting and they will use the endless coronavirus that will continue as a political tool right up through the mid-terms, as an excuse to continue mass mail-in voting.

This next election will be rigged also, as will all of them from hereon in. Unless the courts or state legislatures step in, and they most likely won’t, unless the fascism gets so bad that even they can’t stand it. I won’t hold my breath and turn blue.

Whenever 2nd amendment is taken to court or threatened, my take on it is that the people who have weapons should use them. Don’t argue about it. The Constitution is really clear.

The more you argue the more this country becomes a JOKE.

LOLOLOLOL

Just try to buy primers for pistols ANYWHERE, they are unobtanium, have been out of stock for over 6 months.

Cases, bullets, powder, all skyrocketing prices, when you can find them.

If you aint got it, you’re looking a year away from finding primers ANYWHERE, and probably never now, when online sales are BANNED next year.

“A man’s rights rest in three boxes. The ballot-box, the jury-box, and the cartridge-box.”

The title comes from a memoir by Frederick Douglass, a self-taught escaped slave who was born two hundred years ago this month. During his life, Douglass was celebrated as one of the 19th century’s most learned, eloquent, and passionate defenders of freedom and individual rights in the classical liberal tradition.

By the time of his death in 1895, however, that tradition was being rapidly displaced by progressivism, an antithetical philosophy promoting government power over the individual that would dominate American political thought throughout the coming century. The triumph of progressivism over classical liberalism may, in part, explain why Douglass is so woefully neglected as a thinker and as a writer, and it may also explain why—despite the official creation of a federal Frederick Douglass Bicentennial Commission—so little has been done to commemorate the anniversary of his birth.

Fortunately, Douglass’ bicentennial isn’t passing completely unnoticed. This week, the Cato Institute published a new biography by Timothy Sandefur called, Frederick Douglass, Self-Made Man. Here’s Cato’s description:

Born into slavery in 1818, Frederick Douglass rose to become a preeminent American intellectual and activist who, as statesman, author, lecturer, and scholar, helped lead the fight against slavery and racial oppression. Unlike many other leading abolitionists, Douglass embraced the U.S. Constitution, believing it to be an essentially anti-slavery document guaranteeing that individual rights belonged to all Americans, of all races. Furthermore, in his most popular lecture, “Self-Made Men,” Douglass praised those who rise through their own effort and devotion rather than the circumstances of their privilege. For him, independence, pride, and personal and economic freedom were the natural consequences of the equality that lay at the heart of the American dream—a dream that all people, regardless of race, gender, or class, deserved a chance to pursue.

This biography takes a fresh look at the life and inspirational legacy of one of America’s most passionate and dedicated thinkers. As detailed in this compact and highly compelling work, Douglass—in some ways a conservative, in other ways a revolutionary—espoused and lived the central idea of his work: we must be free to make ourselves the best people we can be.

In addition to being Vice President for Litigation at the Goldwater Institute, Sandefur is a prolific author who has published books and articles on a wide range of subjects including slavery and the Civil War. I’m looking forward to what I’m sure is an insightful biography.

Reason.com also commemorated Douglass’ bicentennial with a long blog post by Damon Root discussing Douglass’ evolving view of the U.S. Constitution:

This month marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of one of the greatest figures in American history. Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in Talbot County, Maryland, sometime in February 1818. At the age of 20, he made his escape from bondage, traveling north to Philadelphia, New York City, and finally to New Bedford, Massachusetts. … In less than a decade, he had established himself as one of the most singular and influential voices in the most pressing debate of his time: the debate over slavery. 

Arguing about slavery was a combat sport in those days, both figuratively and literally, and the field was crowded with skilled combatants. Among them was John C. Calhoun, the legendary South Carolina statesman who proclaimed slavery to be a positive good, fully sanctioned by the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution. There was also the militant Boston abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, who burned his copy of the Constitution, damning it as a pro-slavery “covenant with death and an agreement with hell.”

Douglass would face them both down. “Garrison sees in the Constitution precisely what John C. Calhoun sees there,” Douglass observed. He saw something different: “Interpreted as it ought to be interpreted, the Constitution is a glorious liberty document.”

At a time when the principles of the Declaration of Independence were under assault, Douglass waved the banner of classical liberalism, championing inalienable rights for all, regardless of race or sex. At a time when socialism was on the rise, Douglass preached the virtues of free labor and self-ownership in a market-based economy. At a time when state governments were violating the rights of the recently emancipated, Douglass professed the central importance of “the ballot-box, the jury-box, and the cartridge-box” in the fight against Jim Crow.

Douglass, the former slave who secretly taught himself how to read, would teach the American people a thing or two about the true meaning of the Constitution.

He could still teach us a thing or two. Let’s hope the bicentennial of Frederick Douglass’ birth inspires more people to take an interest in the man and his ideas.
