We have a mental health crisis in this country. This is just virtue signaling.

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.

More like, we’ve got another way to go after guns. Bankrupt the gun manufacturers.

I don't have any problems about suing manufacturers of video games that glorify repeated first-person shooter activities, and allow them to be repeated a thousand times per hour.

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.....

Two of the Initial Responders had ballistic shields.

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.

The article states,

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.”

So a school shooting that could have easily been prevented is now used to enrich citizens through lawsuits against companies that had absolutely nothing to do with the activity.

When the mental hospitals were closed down and the inmates dumped on the streets mass murder took off like a rocket. We had far fewer mass murders before 1970 even though semi-auto rifles had been around since 1903. Yes, 1903. And you could buy them through the mail. Cash and carry, no background check, no waiting period.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_(1900%E2%80%931999)

Notice how the mass murder rate drops off before 1970. Almost the only truly mass murders were...Howard Unruh in 1949, Luger pistol and Charles Whitman in 1966 with a Remington bolt action rifle.
This list is only shootings. Notice how Richard Speck is not even listed as he used a knife and strangling cord to kill eight student nurses in 1966. Neither is Juan Corona(25 dead) or Julio Gonzalez(87 dead).

Instead of sueing the coward cops who sat in the hallway, the police chief that probably got a stand down call from the FBI.
