Wrong.Is it any wonder that Chicago has led the nation in violent crime and misery for 6 decades? Three generations of pointing fingers and blaming everyone except the true perpetrators of the carnage. Suing the GUN MANUFACTURER for one person's insanity?
Highland Park shooting survivors sue Smith & Wesson, Robert Crimo III and shooter's father
The lawsuit says Smith and Wesson "facilitates violence for profit," and targets vulnerable young men to market their products too.abc7chicago.com
It’s got nothing to do with Chicago.
The lawsuit cites other mass shooting incidents with M&P 15s:
‘"The mass shooting at Highland Park's Fourth of July Parade was the foreseeable and entirely preventable result of a chain of events initiated by Smith & Wesson," the lawsuit filed in Illinois state court says. "For years, the manufacturer has deceptively and unfairly marketed its assault rifles in a way designed to appeal to the impulsive, risk-taking tendencies of civilian adolescent and post-adolescent males-the same category of consumers whom Smith & Wesson has watched, time after time, commit the type of mass shooting that unfolded again on the Fourth of July in Highland Park. Smith & Wesson's M&P rifles have been repeatedly used in such mass shootings, including those in Aurora, Colorado; San Bernardino, California; and Parkland, Florida."’
At issue are the reckless, irresponsible marketing tactics of Smith & Wesson.
