So is the NY Times.
We should then have a right to sue 0bama’s Volkische Beobachter..
If you sue the gun industry you better sue the auto industry the knife industry, the bat industry, the rope industry and how about those illegal drugs that all the hypocrites in Washington are secretly invested in that is killing our children on the streets? Should we sue the politicians?
Yes, the NY Slimes are nuts.
They want to win with lawsuits what they cannot legislatively or Constitutionally.
The legal theory is insane. If ever there were a valid militia weapon, it is the AR-15, which is used in far less homicides in a year than hands and feet or clubs or knives.
Handguns are used about 20 times as often.
Hard to believe they are this insane, but they are.
What the NYT is proposing sounds very much like an “ex post facto” law, prohibited by the Constitution. You could use the same logic to sue automakers for the actions of drunk drivers, to sue bicycle manufacturers for bicycle accidents, to sue drug manufacturers for drug overdoses, and food manufacturers for obesity. In all of these cases - and countless others - there is a virtual certainty that their product will be abused by someone, somewhere.
