You can guarantee that the judge did everything in his power to help the gun-grabbers' case along but in the end, he HAD to put some type of demands on the city of Newark or appear that he was completely biased against Ruger.

Because the case was dismissed with prejudice, Newark won't be allowed to file the lawsuit again.

It couldn't happen to a nicer town.

Interestif point of the gun-grabbers decide to appeal and loose. It they loose they create case law which can be used on other courts.

However if they don't appeal, they are still doa.

In a press release Monday, Sturm, Ruger said it dismissed the case because the city failed to meet the requirements of a prior court order. The City of Newark needed to fulfill those requirements in order to apply for a reinstatement of the complaint prior to the March 1 deadline.

I would be interested in comments from those who are familiar with the case. It sounds like the judge may have given the City a chance to fix whatever he thought was wrong with the City's complaint, but the City's lawyers either decided they couldn't fix it or screwed up and missed the deadline.

If New Jersey is the Butt of the Country, Newark is where they would stick the nozzle.

This sewer is the product of a series of increasing corrupt and crooked regimes, and this just the latest in a serie of attempts to get other people to pay for problems they themselves have created.

Following the ruling, Sturm, Ruger called for a federal law to prevent other lawsuits targeting gun makers for the use of their guns in crimes.

This won't happen until more dems in the Senate are voted out of office.

It sounds like the City of Newark got a trigger-lock installed on it's tax-payer funded lawsuit.

Now, these frivolous lawsuits need to be banned.

I would be very disappointed and surprised if Sturm and its co-defendants failed to sue the City of NoWork for legal fees and expenses incurred.....

I bet SR still paid out a pretty penny to defend this. What a ridiculous country we live in! What's next? Electing socialists to the presidency? Where's everyone moving when JFK/Clinton presidency starts?

I wonder how much lower the cost of a good firearm would be, if companies like Ruger didn't have to pay so much for a legal team and liability insurance.

We have a legal system that encourages off-shoring. Guns are used 2-3 times as often for defensive uses as they are to commit crimes. The 2 million plus Americans who use a gun to prevent harm should file a class action suit against the ambulance chasers and begin a kind of licensing program for them and when they create the kind of harm they do with their lawsuits.

Loser pays would mean they also lose their license to work. It's done to other occupations, why are lawyers exempt?
