Re: Sandy Hook families sue estate of shooter's mother
Even if that is so. There are sooo many other inanimate objects that could be used as examples. Bats. Hammers. Knives. Etc etc etc. All of them add up to more murders than guns.
Except that this isn't actually about guns. Its actually about some people suing someone that never once used a gun or anything else to hurt anyone. Which is the very reason that I've been asking you a very pointed question. Which you refuse to actually answer because it would show the hypocrisy of your stance. Your very denial to answer the question shows the hypocrisy. You know very well that you would not and should not be held responsible for your grown child's actions of murdering someone with something that is yours. And note how that is phrased. Not once is the word "gun" used in it. Why? Because what is used to kill is irrelevant to what is actually being done by these families that in their grief and anger are being goaded into by money grubbing lawyers. And I would bet a years subscription to DP that many people agree with my stance more than yours. Including people there in Wokingham England.
Ask any cop or lawyer. A car can be and has been considered as a weapon before. So have bats, knives, hammers etc etc etc. Of course you don't have to take my word for it. Here is a legal definition of weapon.
Weapon Law & Legal Definition
Cars would fall under the bolded part there btw. I know you want to pretend that the world is full of rainbows and roses, but reality shows that pretty much anything can be a weapon.
I'm sure it has been ....and just about as regularly as there have been lottery winners :lol:

Of course its is. Its an attempt to excuse firearms killing and protect guns

Unlike you my reasoning and logic allow me to distinguish between what is and is not a weapon
