Sandy Hook lawsuit against AR-15 maker could actually reach the Supreme Court

We have tons of empathy for any parent who loses a child, particularly a very young child and, more specifically, to a crazed person who comes to their elementary school and kills them.

So we understand that the parents whose children were killed by a mentally disturbed Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook, Conn., in 2012 want to blame something, someone, for their losses.

But surviving families have singled out the gun manufacturer to blame, and honestly, now it all just looks political because the company — Bushmaster Firearms — is the least responsible for those 26 deaths.

Key phrase:

“...were killed by a mentally disturbed Adam Lanza...”

Where would that END?!?!

Do we NEED cars that go more than 35 mph or do we WANT them?

In fact, no cars at all is the only sure way to avoid casualties.

And how many six packs are going to be brought before the court as a cause of SO MUCH violence??

[Red Badger]

He wore shoes, so the shoe company is to blame as well.................

I never saw or heard of a gun get up by itself and start shooting people.

[MichaelCorleone]

Is Robbie Parker the plaintiff?

[Sirius Lee]

The basis of this lawsuit isn't the gun itself. The plaintiffs are claiming that it was Bushmaster's advertising that caused the shooting.

Since the little retard stole the gun, the advertising had zero to do with his actions, but since our judiciary is infected with left-tards, this suit is somehow being allowed to continue instead of being tossed as it so rightly deserves.

[A Cyrenian]

Why don't they file a lawsuit against the judges who let the criminals out?

I think this makes more sense than suing a firearms manufacturer.

[eyeamok]

Why aren’t they going after the Miners and smelters that produced the Brass and lead for the Cartridges, they should pay too.

[Hugin]

OK. Let Justice Kavanah decide it (I just love saying that).

[SkyDancer]

Well product worked as advertised so what’s the lawsuit about? Oh, lawyers ... never mind.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Is this about product liability? If the weapon malfunctioned and ended up killing people then they might have a case.
I don’t think it malfunctioned, the person holding it did.

[jospehm20]

Lanza was likely on drugs. Will pharmaceutical companies be sued also.

[imardmd1]

What they need to be suing is the local and county authorities for concentrating little children in a target-rich environment whilst concurrently providing easy access that attracts deadly crazed predators.

Very seriously.

The schools provided the provocative environment, and also the motive through their mistreatment of the perpetrator in his early life. The software purveyors of violent computer games provided the practice in methods effectiveness, and should also share the financial burdens. The mother was the source of the means, not the manufacturers who merely supply local legitimate gun shops, not the customers directly.

“So we understand...”

No, “we” do not understand.

[CtBigPat]

Why aren’t they going after the Miners and smelters that produced the Brass and lead for the Cartridges, they should pay too.

Don't give them any ideas!

[Chode]

he killed his mother and stole a gun... how is THAT the mfg's fault?

[bantam]

Welcome to the new Amerika!

[Chode]

the judge that let that go to trial should be kicked off the bench
