If you can sue a gun manufacturer for a gun doing what it's designed to do...

[fncceo]

firearms are designed to KILL--p

Then I guess you can sue a gun company if they only wound.

..I'm pro-common sense firearm laws--not anti-firearm--but I see many comments on MSM and here comparing this lawsuit to suing fork and spoons companies/eating/over eating/etc = very ridiculous--a very ridiculous comparison

It's a very ridiculous law suit and it's an example of tying up the courts to harass an industry someone doesn't like.

Gun companies are not large, billion dollar companies with armies of lawyers.

Just fighting these suits will undoubtedly hurt some manufacturers even if they win every one.

Ideally, NRA will help fight off these suits.

Um. No.

The gun industry made a decision that Nancy Lanza and crazy people like her were key customers to be catered to.

That's why they should be held responsible. Because they weren't being responsible in who they sold to.

Can you prove that assertion?

 

[westwall]

No, they are being sued because progressives can't rule the way they want so long as the people are armed.
This is about power, and nothing more.

Guy, the government has tanks... they laugh at your guns.

This is about 33,000 deaths, 70,000 injuries, 270 BILLION in economic losses.

This is about active shooter drills, security cameras, metal detectors, that we all have to live with because you have a fetish.

Tell that to the former leader of Rumania. He had tanks too.

He's still very dead.

 

[TNHarley]

They wont win. An act passed by Congress protects them from frivolous bullshit like this.
Adam killed his mother for access to her gun. That is no ones fault but his.

 

[JoeB131]

Tell that to the former leader of Rumania. He had tanks too.

He's still very dead.

Because the guys in the Tanks refused to fire on the unarmed populace...

You do get that, right? That all the communist government that fell didn't fall because people had weapons.

They wont win. An act passed by Congress protects them from frivolous bullshit like this.
Adam killed his mother for access to her gun. That is no ones fault but his.

Actually, the act passed by Congress doesn't apply here... the courts ruled on that.

Now the only question is, can Remington make an argument that when they put out ads like this...

Were they inspiring unstable people like Lanza.

Idc what the state SC said, they wont be the judge in the suit. They were just emotional.
Remington was not responsible.

You think a Jury is going to be less emotional when they see the crime scene photos of all those dead kids?

Big Greedy Corporation vs. Parents of Slaughtered children...

This will not end well for Remington.

This is not going to end any time soon. It they lose, it will end up going back to the SC. They are literally protected by an act from congress.
There is no ifs and or buts about it.

The act of Congress has a clear loophole for irresponsible marketing.

No ifs, ands or buts about it..

But good point. When the Democrats retake the white house and congress in 2020, we need to get that bullshit law off the books.

Thank god. I cant wait to sue Chevy and jim beam when I get in a wreck with a drunk driver.
You retarded totalitarian

Have at it. I'd have no problem with it.

If Jim Beam acted like Remington, you might even have a case.

Never develop an opinion with emotion at its core. First off, you can't point to anything Remington does, other then make guns that is in anyway contributes to murder. Period. Second, all this will do is drag the family's of those dead children, "the ones you call medical waste all the time" through all that pain and suffering they went through the day their children "medical waste to you" we're murdered and for what? If they win, Cerberus will sell Remington to cover the hit and Remingtom will go on making guns. But they won't win. Trial lawyers won't let them. Do some digging on the company that owns Remington.

Captain Illiteracy Strikes again!!!

They deliberately marketed to people like the Lanzas... that's what they did. This is what got the Cigarette companies into trouble, that when internal documents were uncovered, they found that they were marketing to kids. Remington knows when they have to turn over all those internal memos, that they knew that the crazies were their key market.

Second, all this will do is drag the family's of those dead children, "the ones you call medical waste all the time" through all that pain and suffering they went through the day their children "medical waste to you" we're murdered and for what?

These were kids that weren't wanted, not aborted. That Adam Lanza performed twenty 27th Trimester Abortions was the problem here. The parents are the ones suing, and they'll win.

If they win, Cerberus will sell Remington to cover the hit and Remingtom will go on making guns. But they won't win. Trial lawyers won't let them. Do some digging on the company that owns Remington.

Cerberus has been trying to sell off Remington since 2012. They know a liability when they see it. They aren't getting any takers before a 200 million dollar liability attaches to the company.
