Families of students killed in the May 24, 2022, Uvalde school shooting filed numerous wrongful death lawsuits Friday in Texas and California, targeting AR-15 maker Daniel Defense, Meta Platforms, and Activision — the maker of the “Call of Duty” video game.
Meta is the parent company of Instagram.
CBS News reported that the “lawsuits were filed by attorney Josh Koskoff.”

I was okay with with going after the incompetent cowardly police but this is a stretch
I would suggest that this suit wasn’t the brainchild of Uvalde families, but initiated by lawyers who saw an opportunity for a class action lawsuit against Daniel Defense, et al., and convinced Uvalde families to join for potential cash awards.
Find the “right” court, roll the dice — who knows? You’ll probably hit the jackpot.
Throwing a bunch of crap on the wall and seeing what sticks.
What’s next?
The families of drunk driver victims suing breweries, wineries, and distillers?
“throwing crap to see what sticks” is a nice way of says mentally corrupt person, or low intelligence, or an a person with an incomplete transition into adulthood, or just plain evil.
More like, we’ve got another way to go after guns. Bankrupt the gun manufacturers.
They can’t - lawful product. This crap-ola has been litigated before and the hoplophobes lost. (h/t Jeff Cooper)
For the type of moron who would buy and use this kind of software, this would be nothing but irresistable conditioning to murder without hesitation.
The First Amendment has huge utility and is even sacred when it comes to preserving a free press, free exchange of scientific information and literary art, and lots of other stuff.
But when it comes to porn and other dehumanizing, evil stuff like these video games, people should have the right to take it to court.
Our present society is the sewer it is because ignorant people refuse to draw a line, any line, between normal activity and degenerate evil practices.
It is time we take stock and realize that it is OK to draw a line somewhere.
Another reason that many in the US consider lawyers as just mobile road bumps....
I’m surprised they didn’t go after Sony, who made the tv used to view the video games, Texas Electric, whose power was used to view the game, Mobile oil, whose gasoline was used to power the truck used to.....
How about just hanging the perp? 🙄
Thank you Tipper Gore. IMO you’re in with the same people who get terminally offended at Shakespeare’s Shylock and want to cancel out Western civilisation.
The rest of the adults know the difference between fiction and reality.
Contingency lawsuits are a scourge. One of the few things England has right is “loser pays”.
The Leftists have unlimited funds to do lawfare. All they have to do is make YOU have to fight back & if you don’t have deep pockets, down you go.
Three cops - two in front with shields - could have charged the shooter and taken him down in the first few minutes.
Some lives would have been saved, and some disfiguring and disabling wounds would have been prevented.
Koskoff is the attorney who successfully sued Remington after a stolen rifle, manufactured by the Remington family of firearms, was used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School attack
He didn’t win it in court - Remington had a winnable argument but their insurance company caved.
The families don’t likely have a winnable case either, so we can probably expect more legal or insurance clownery - which will always be spun as a big win for gun control………..I mean, “keeping us all safe.”
I wonder who put them up to this?
I’ve been playing first-person shooters since I was ten (unbeknownst to my parents atthe time), and I have never had an urge to kill. Neither have all of the friends I’ve made over the years playing said games, nor have my friends from high school.
I suppose you support suing production companies that make violent action and horror movies as well, plus recording companies whose bands play music with violent lyrics? Where does it stop?
Suit will go nowhere. Plus, Activision has enough money to fight it to the end.
Hmmm
Webster’s Dictionary (Noah was an old white guy), has words like:
Kill, murder, shoot, destroy, torture, etc.
Our problems may have started way back then.
