RE: Sandy Hook Lawsuit - fredtoast - 02-23-2016 Waste of time. RE: Sandy Hook Lawsuit - Vas Deferens - 02-23-2016 (02-23-2016, 01:55 PM)fredtoast Wrote: Waste of time.

I agree. But, getting the conversation going about general accessibility of assault/military weapons alone may be their ultimate goal. Certainly haven't gotten any traction through other vehicles, the court system forces it a bit. Again, I don't think they will win, but I can see how the case could be used as an overall tactic. RE: Sandy Hook Lawsuit - McC - 02-23-2016 Who would ever imagine that such a weapon sold on the open market could end up used in a crime? How could the manufacturer have ever predicted such a thing? Nothing wrong with wanting to make money or even the love of money, for the most part. But America, at this point in time is being damaged by its obsession with it. Greed is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, after all. It's the willingness to do anything for it that is so damaging. This manufacturer should be made to pay out the ass. I understand that a gun maker can't control where their guns end up. I pretty much agree with the law in that regard. But if you're not putting AR 15's out in public, well... If they're stolen from the military, that's a little different. But the law is the law. The possibility of a better solution is buried in a political stalemate.

I mean, they can't control I ate 5 McDoubles a day...but if they just never made them...

Eating fatty foods for the twenty or thirty years it would take to kill you is a far cry from putting assault rifles into the hands of civilians. They don't compare in any way. People who eat that way are not intending to kill themselves. And nobody ever bought or stole a Big Mac to kill large numbers of people with it.

I get what you are saying (and agree to a point)....but your analogy kind of sucked. RE: Sandy Hook Lawsuit - Rotobeast - 02-23-2016 I could kill more people with my car. Should Ford be sued ? If I know how to kill with my bare hands. Should the publishers of the books I learned from and my instructors be sued ? Just where does it end ? RE: Sandy Hook Lawsuit - BFritz21 - 02-23-2016 The cemetery where we wrecked tried to sue me (my parents) because the tree we hit died, and I wasn't even driving, so nothing really surprises me anymore. RE: Sandy Hook Lawsuit - CKwi88 - 02-23-2016 I was working in Bridgeport superior court on Monday. Planned on sitting in, but wound up not being able. Alas, I must agree that it is mostly a waste of time RE: Sandy Hook Lawsuit - RoyleRedlegs - 02-23-2016 (02-23-2016, 04:24 PM)McC Wrote: Eating fatty foods for the twenty or thirty years it would take to kill you is a far cry from putting assault rifles into the hands of civilians.

Are you game to sue car manufactures? Fertilizer, chemical companies if it gets used in a bomb? What about the makers of yard equipment? Chainsaws, axes etc....if they get stolen or used for a crime.... Where does it stop?

All of those things are made for a certain purpose, none of which is to kill. What are the intended applications of assault rifles? I'm not talking about all guns. I've already said that. But what business does the general population have owning such weapons? Selling them to the public is irresponsible. I haven't yet seen you argue against that. Let's stick to comparing apples to apples, not apples to lawn mowers. |
