Re: Sandy hook lawsuit: Judge rules against gun companies
actually for this to happen, the court would have to rule that the weapon has no valid civilian use which would violate the second amendment. The courts need to do to these plaintiffs what other courts have done to similar plaintiffs-make them pay the litigation costs of the defendants. you put a few plaintiffs and their slimy attorneys in Chapter 7, it will send the message to the other scumbags that lawful gun makers are not legitimate targets as long as they followed the laws governing the sales of wholesale firearms to retailers
Technically nobody is infringing on the 2nd with this case, it's just a civil lawsuit between the public and a private company. Even if the parents win, it can't really be used as precedent to go after assault rifles in general. All it could really hope to accomplish, apart from reparations, is making the company reconsider its own consumer policy.
It could create precedent for other gun manufacturers to be sued in the future though.
Wouldn't it be ironic if America's own tort system is what determines the fate of gun control instead of the government? Hard to get certain guns if a company won't sell them to you because they're too afraid of being sued.
