Brady Campaign Case Targeting Online Ammo Dismissed By Judge
bearingarms.com ^ | March 30, 2015 | Bob Owens

An absurd attempt by the anti-gun Brady Campaign to hold online ammunition and shooting sport accessory companies responsible for the actions of a madman has been dismissed.

The lawsuit filed by the parents of a woman killed in the Colorado theater shootings, accusing four online retailers of improperly selling ammunition, tear gas, a high-capacity magazine and body armor used in the attack, has been dismissed.

According to court documents obtained by CBS4 Friday afternoon, Judge Richard P. Matsch dismissed the lawsuit filed against the defendants in the case: Lucky Gunner of Knoxville, Tennessee, Bullet Proof Body Armor of Tempe, Arizona, BTP Arms of New Oxford, Pennsylvania, and the Sportsman’s Guide of South St. Paul, Minnesota.

The lawsuit alleged it was illegal and negligent to sell the gear to James Holmes, who is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 20, 2012, attack.

It stated the companies had no safeguards to keep dangerous people from buying their goods.

I saw a true crime story the other day where a woman killed her boyfriend with a stiletto heel.
then there’s drunk drivers.
and those who choose knives to kill.
there go shoes, cutlery and Camaros.

Well now they have the list of litigants. THAT is a list of dangerous whack-jobs who should not be allowed around anything more dangerous than Jello.

Yes, the mentality of these people is foolhardy and childish.

Sh*t happens because of deranged, evil people, I'm sorry for your loss, but deal with it.

I'm sure their charade will be appealed.

Tort reform needs to be addressed, that would take care of frivolous lawsuits.

“And now they need to pay all court and defense expenses...”

The court slapped them for filing a frivolous/harassing lawsuit.

“In addition to dismissing the case, the judge found that the plaintiffs owe the companies they attempted to harass an award of “reasonable attorney fees.”

Lonnie Phillips,who filed the suit with his wife Sandy is a Brady employee. One of his duties was to create a database with names of gun owners.

Hammers and screwdrivers.

Why do burglars love screwdrivers? They are good stabbing tools as well. That’s why.

I remember reading about a woman who killed her husband with a frozen salmon. We need fish control.

Simply not good enough.

She needs to have never existed.
