It figures that they would sneak something like this in election time.

Richard Pearson of the Illinois State Rifle Association called Monday's ruling "ludicrous."

"They are out to wipe out firearms dealers one way or another," he said.

Their agenda is a total ban on guns. They have not been able to achieve that so they try to bankrupt the gunmakers. These lawsuits are an abuse of our legal system and every attorney and political hack that files these cases should be disbarred. They took an oath to uphold the constitution and they are trying to dismantle it.

For good news, watch The Liberty Belles on television Friday. We have an appearance on The Rob Nelson Show. Check your area for times.

"The opinion added that a "reasonable trier of fact could find that the criminal misuse of guns to kill persons were occurrences that defendants knew would result or were substantially certain to result from the defendants' alleged conduct here."

Oh, be very, very careful for almost all legal swords are double edged. Hence, automobile makers can be sued under this premise for any death where a car was involved; bath tub makers stand to lose millons from accidential drownings, and wine makes may be sued for the natural consequence of users becoming alcoholics.

The citizens of Chicago will be very upset when all gun manufacturers decide not to sell any guns to Chicago law enforcement agencies and federal agencies located in Chicago.

"In our view," the court wrote, "plaintiff's complaint sufficiently pleads facts that, notwithstanding actual knowledge that the AUTOMOBILES would be brought into Chicago and used in crimes, the manufacturers, distributors and dealers failed to alter their actions, thereby creating a public nuisance."

The opinion added that a "reasonable trier of fact could find that the criminal misuse of AUTOMOBILES to kill persons were occurrences that defendants knew would result or were substantially certain to result from the defendants' alleged conduct here."

What's the difference?

It will get slapped down on higher appeals, but the damage it can do in the interim might be catastrophic.

We can see why, in Chicago, they would only want the mob and their friends in the government to have guns.
