So is the NY Times.
“The parents contend that the maker of the Bushmaster is no less culpable because it knowingly marketed a risky war weapon to civilians.”
Apple beware...this may become a precedent!
I believe everyone else there was obeying the rules & laws rendering them impotent against the attacker, who being bent on mass murder would not have been stopped by lack of an assault weapon. The two largest mass murders in U.S. history were perpetrated without firearms (one with fertilizer & diesel, the other with a gallon of gasoline).
Nah. It’s just a fake newspaper using a fake event...
...and for those of you ready to vote against Trump on ‘principle’, keep in mind that it just takes ONE (key) COURT RULING to shut down the firearms industry....and then one more ruling and gun owners will be LIABLE any time they fire at another person.
But I know, Trump defends Planned Parenthood...so I guess the Second Amendment isn’t that big a deal, to some.
Maybe we should , each of us, just sue ourselves.
Then lets sue the car industry every time there is a crash.
Cars are 4-6000 pound machines that easily,kill people, and do.
Lets sue cutlery makers every time people areminjured by their knives. I am talking about dinnerware makers, those knives are just as deadly and are used in fights and aggression.
Lets sue contraceptive makers every time an unintended pregnancy comes about.
See personal responsibility means nothing. Using the product wrong means nothing. Oh, wait, mr libtard, only when it comes to guns and other products you despise? (rhetorical, not at the poster)
I heard or saw somewhere, that the Bushmaster was in the car trunk and he only used pistols????
People die when the press lies. Maybe we should make it easier to sue the NYTs. And not just libel laws. How about class action suits for any lies?
This editorial just sold another 10,000 AR15s.
So the NYT believes in suing companies whose products worked exactly as they were designed? The gun did everything right. Why should it be blamed?
Take the judge to any given shooting range on any given Saturday, and count the AR-15s there that aren't murdering anyone.
The AR-15, which is designed to inflict maximum casualties with rapid bursts... pure bullshit from liberal assholes. I doubt the NYT even knows which end the projectile departs from.
I believe that we should reform the libel and slander laws to give citizens the right to sue newspapers and journalist for unlimited damages if they print any falsehood or false information about persons or property.
Recently, near my town, a guy got off work, got drunk, entered the freeway on the wrong side, crashed his car into a minivan and killed a family of four.
Who/what is most responsible? The driver? The place that served him the alcohol to get drunk? The highway department for not building a barricade that prevents drivers from getting on the wrong side of the freeway? The folks who built the actual killing machine - the automobile?
If you chose the latter, you could be a Democrat.
“The Right to Sue the Gun Industry”...I never heard of such as being a ‘right.’ Typical misguided liberal airhead statement. Probably wishful thinking.
How about the right to sue the NY Times for misleading information?
Let’s sue car manufacturers. They kill far more people each year.
Every year people are killed by murderers with hammers and baseball bats.
I guess Craftsman and Louisville Slugger are next on the list.
The sheer stupidity of the liberal mind is beyond understanding.
Or it could be that this is nothing more than the same tired anti-gun rhetoric the Times has been spouting for that last half a century -- ill-informed, hyperbolic, and patronizing. And just another day in the life of an East Coast crap machine.
