These people are mad to try to control others so closely.

[TigersEye]

Bite me, commies! The law means nothing to you so don’t expect it to mean anything to me.

“The effect is that everyone in the chain will be responsible for the actions of that gun.”

You know, the gun that walks around by itself and shoots people randomly.

Another incredibly stupid politician.

[thackney]

Let me know when they propose making automobile, beer and other suppliers accountable when their products are misused.

[Ron H.]

Why not mandate personal liability insurance coverage for lawmakers who vote for laws which are enacted but then later overturned by high courts for being unconstitutional.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

So, will Colorado sellers of beer, wine and liquor be responsible if someone they sell to drives drunk and causes an accident?

[x1stcav]

I got transferred here back in 1991 and considered Colorado home. Looking into Wyoming. There will go 6 jobs and some pretty hefty taxes we pay.

That is what the registration is all about, making it easier to trace the owner of the gun and make him liable for any crimes that take place using his gun if it is still registered to him.

[GP100]

How about liability insurance for paroled felons that reoffend and hurt others? I’d like to see judges and lawyers held accountable for their reckless actions.

[Smokin' Joe]

When they do this with cars, maybe-—NOT!

[Renegade]

This wouldn’t apply to 99% of the firearms owners because ASSAULT weapons are full auto, not semi-automatic.

[Above My Pay Grade]

The sellers part is too ridiculous for words and violates Federal law protection gun sellers and manufacturers from these frivolous lawsuits.

As for the owners part, if someone grossly negiligent in letting a person they know is likely to harm others use their weapon (”assault” or otherwise) car, hammer, cigarette lighter or whatever, they could already be held liable. Other than that, I have a novel idea, why not hold the MURDERERS liable?

How about a law holding Gun Grabbing politicians personally liable for all people killed or injured in “gun free zones” that they either voted for or failed to vote for the repeal of, in any case where it is reasonably likely that an armed citizen could have prevented the attack or reduced the injury and/or death toll?

[grobdriver]

everyone in the chain will be responsible for the actions of that gun

Words fail me.

An uncommon occurrence - ask my wife.

[Ramius]

These guys don’t seem to know the difference between -criminal- and -civil- actions. As a civil matter, owners are already liable for the damage they do with their guns. There is nothing for a legislature to do.

[familyop]

"Morse says jurors would decide whether sellers or owners should be held liable in individual cases."

Colorado jurors. Anyone thinking about letting that bill pass had best think again. Consider the "first settler syndrome" in CO too (established residents on the Range doing anything they can to have others forced back off of the Range). Consider the regulations in general, too (regulations against building, tiny manufacturing operations and many other productive activities: communistic).

[familyop]

"Republicans have also said Morse's idea may conflict with a 2005 federal law that protects gun makers and sellers from liability for crimes committed with their products."

Everyone will know that as a class war attack. For the time being, many people can easily afford to buy $1,000,000+ coverage for each firearm and would much rather have that kind of situation--especially in CO (disarming all of the lower income trash). Any of you considering letting it pass, should think again on that, too.

The likelihood of a bond collapse, skyrocketing interest rates, debt repudiation and currency adjustment is very high in the very near future. There won't be many well-to-do folks after that except for a few remaining in high government positions ("essentials").

See the complete outlawing of all firearms ahead for everyone, including pistols (retaliation from outlawed voters). Also remember the ingenuity that remains in people who repair and build for themselves. Such people can find their legal way around just about any regulations.

[Red in Blue PA]

Notice how none of these laws affect the thugs and shooters in the inner cities?

[Monty22002]

I say go for, but have poll taxes back first.

[ConradofMontferrat]

Let me know when this A$$hat passes a law that holds Rambo SWAT teams liable for kicking down the wrong door in the middle of the night.

And the moron judge who approved the move.

And the individual wannabe’s who did the deed. (especially the A$$wipe who gets “skeeerd” and shoots the dog.)

And the idiot DA who thought it was “A Good Ideeea!”

Till then bung face, keep your slimy fingers off my hardware.

(Not talking to you RS!)

[RWB Patriot]

Hmm, what amuses me about stuff like this is that the people who push it would howl like banshees if it was suggested all homosexuals or all blacks should be punished for the actions of a few.
