How about instead we hold politicians and judges personally liable for all the criminals they turn out into the streets and encourage to come to the United States under their open border policies?

Using this same "logic", they should go after car manufacturers also.

[Darksheare]

By this same logic they should arrest everyone in a neighborhood where a crime was committed and hold them all responsible for the actions of another.

“Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, said his bill would ensure that in the future the manufacturers and sellers of assault weapons such as those used in Aurora and Sandy Hook will be held responsible for the events in civil court.”

While this retards try to find some excuse to get the actual shooter away from the electric chair on some sort of BS mental excuse.

Liberals’ ultimate goal is to have the fascist state where every Greenie/Lefty/Gay/Keynesian/PC thought can be implemented with the force of SWAT Teams not fearing their brains being splattered while kicking in doors.

Liberals live in a world of fantasy and intentions outweigh results, whereas we know that results matter, the intentions can be used in as part of the defense in a court case, but little else.

Liberals also cannot stand guns because they fear how THEY would act if given a loaded Glock...they are so angry, so jealous and with no foundation of morality, apt to kill or maim.

This is why most killers are Leftists, from Manson to Loughner...Mao, Stalin, etc. The Occupy crowd rapes, shoots heroin and kills people...the TEA Party just wants a chance for taxes to be lowered and people act civilized.

There is no difference. Colorado is just a symptom of the Liberal gun-grabber agenda.

Any state that passes legislation like this should be cut off by all firearms manufacturers for any new weapons/ammo contracts/buys. Local dealers should do the same. Do what Barrett did to CA. Cut them off.

So, if somebody gets behind the wheel of a Ford Taurus, and deliberately runs somebody over, should Ford Motor Company be held responsible?

[JohnBrowdie]

who are we going to hold responsible for lightning?

I remember a case in Seattle about 25 years ago. A woman gave birth to a baby with FAS. They sued Jim Beam (IIRC) and lost. I remember it because I was waiting at the bus stop outside the courthouse the afternoon after the couple lost the case and the local news media interviewed me and asked my opinion.

It ended up on the evening TV news that night and the next day I was in court on a jury on another case and there was some hushed conversation between the attorneys and the judge. They then excused the entire jury except me and asked if I was the one in the news story. I said I was. They then wanted to know if it would affect my opinion on the current case. I said it was not germane to our case and they let it go.

Heck, the case I was involved with was about a guy who lost his leg because a doctor used artificial vein to fix a problem.

But this whole post is TMI.

Bottom line is that it’s ridiculous to hold a manufacturer responsible for the missuse of their product. They should only be responsible when it fails to function properly. And when a bad guy uses a gun to shoot a person, it functioned properly. The shooter is the problem.

Will Colorado Dems hold automakers liable in accidents?.

[I want the USA back]

How about we hold politicians responsible for all the lives they ruined?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I guess it would be a good idea to allow ambulance chasers to sue the biological parents too for creating a criminal or crazy kid. Go lawyers!!!

God-d**ned insanity. Should United and American Airlines been held “responsible” for the attacks on 9/11? How about the makers of the boxcutters?

Liberalism truly is a mental disease.

[Logical me]

Communists America on the way. America if being destroyed.

There's also a bill introduced in Congress for mandatory mental health reporting from the states to the NCIC. There's already a mandatory 5-year federal prison sentence under the Violence Against Women Act for possessing firearms/ammunition while subject to a restraining order. Some restraining orders are based on allegations yet permanent (judges' discretion).

Those are the incremental moves toward eventually banning everyone from owning firearms. Too many voters are involved in minor domestic violence and mental health situations. If the new bills are passed, affected voters will lobby and vote against the rest of us, IMO. Many veterans may also be caught up in being banned by allegation. And which group will be banned from possessing firearms or ammunition next?

"Assault Weapons Liability — would make manufacturers, sellers, owners or possessors of military assault firearms, strictly liable for any death or injury resulting from the weapon."

That one wouldn't even work in court. It's already failed.

"Universal Background Checks — would require background checks for all gun buyers, including those who purchase from individual sellers, and would enhance mental health sharing data between state and federal agencies."

That one won't pass. It was written to fail.

Those are the straw men, written to get attention and be knocked down. During the '90s, there were the VAWA and the Million Mom March. Both were planned and backed by a very long list of business, academic and political feminist/socialist organizations. That was the beginning. They're getting what they wanted. Most of you will realize that within a couple of years or so.

Every gun maker should stop selling guns in Colorado. Tell the cops if they want new guns they can go into the next state and buy them.
