Federal court just re-instated a lawsuit in San Francisco where they are suing the gun manufacturers for wrongful death. How do ignorant lawsuits like this even get to the point where someone has to waste there money to put up a defense? It's just preposterous. I've yet to see anyone sue Chicago Cutlery because Jeffrey Dahmer carved up 50 people with their signature model butcher knife. The only person responsible for murder is the murderer.........I mean you could drop a safe on someone and kill them......but you wouldn't think to sue the safe maker. I'm confident that this lawsuit will be won by the gun makers or hopefully thrown out before that point because this is just frivolous.

you dont have to work retail to notice that.

just read the forum every once in a while.



I KID, I KID!!!!!!!
 
Yeah or maybe we should sue the auto manufacturers because their vehicles kill people :rolleyes:
 
i sued Vans today when i tripped over my own shoelace.

they realized it was only a matter of time before they would lose the case, so they settled out of court.
 
"Survivors claimed that several weapons companies produced, distributed and sold more firearms than legal purchasers could buy. In addition, they claimed the industry knowingly participated and facilitated an underground illegal gun market. "

I think we should sue the earth's crust for providing us with the iron to make the gun.

That's using the exact same reason as these fucktards. I own a few guns, and they are purely for hunting and recreational use. I do not even keep them assembled unless I am in the field or at the range.
 
The main difference is that knives, safes, baseball bats, cars and the Earth's crust all have other legitimate uses. Guns have one use, to kill.

yeah, I thought that was funny too. Since when does high production #'s = crime. As far as gun makers facilitating the underground illegal gun market, well that's just grasping at straws. The sad thing here is that you can accuse anyone of anything and no matter how ridiculous, you still have to spend $$$ on an attorney to defend it.

It means that all the arguments about "what if someone kills with a knife what then" are false.

very true..

frankly i think there should be more restrictions on who can own a gun, and the guns they can own. The right to bear arms needs definate limits IMO. but suing a gun manufactuerer for the death of someone is absurd.

Frankly i just wish the sale of automatic and semi automatic weapons would dissappear, there's no need for them. You want to protect yourself, go buy a hand gun and keep it away from children. You want to hunt, get a shot gun..and no.. not a sawed off.

I think that gun manufactuers should make their guns more safe with various safety features. I think a parent should be sued if their under 16yr old kid gets ahold of it and does damage to others.

there are already too many limits. Law abiding citizens don't commit gun crimes and should be able to own whatever they want.....semi-auto, auto....doesn't matter.....if I want to own one to shoot targets and do competition shooting then I should be allowed. You need to concentrate on prosecuting criminals and not law abiding citizens who own guns legally and responsibly.

BTW if kids get guns and do damage, the parents already are held liable. You've got to remember that ALL gun crime is already against the law......making more laws and restrictions makes no sense. Enforce the ones we already have.
 
^semi automatic and automatic weapons have absolutely no useful purpose. And i'm sorry as s***, i don't think gun makers are responsible, but people as a community should become more aware and take more responsibility.

America has the highest rate of gun murders in the world. Other countries are heavily diverse, other countries have violent music, video games, movies, etc.. Other countries have alienated youth, other countries have poverty and high unemployement rates (higher than the U.S.)

So until you can tell me what makes america so ******* fanatical with weapons and can offer a better solution to the violence problem in this country... you're theory becomes invalid.

At least i offered a theory to a possible solution to the violence problem. I'm all for the right to bear arms, i'm all for the ability to go hunting, to protect yourself. (taking that you're not hunting an endangered species of course)

But there's too many lunatics, too many people with psychological disorders who have fucken gun. And i have a problem in which america sells people the idea they have something wrong with them... (ahh they joys of capitalistic psychology..) but, there are real serious psychological issues.

Not to mention that the undereducated normally become easily fearful..now whether that fear is imposed on them by a religion, american real-life media (aka the sensational death fetished news) or whatever else... and react quickly with violence.

America has a very "shoot first ask questions later" attitude.. and i'm sorry... that coupled with relaxed gun restrictions is not a good thing.

Yes there are responsible people who own many guns.. .and ya know what? Good for them.. i applaud them for their intelligence, stability, and responsibility.

But for supposedly the "best country in the world"... we sure do have a high gun violence rate.

In japan... a 14 yr old girl can walk the streets at 3am and feel completely safe, without the worry of getting gang *****, shot, mugged, beat, etc.. AND that's DOWNTOWN TOKYO... if you need a point of reference... It makes New York city look like a pathetic little suburb.

Until american can show that kind of responsibility.. there needs to be more restrictions.

Freedom is not fucken handed to you.. you have to earn it and at times it is deserved and you need to take it... This gun issue is a definate "earn your right", b/c the results if you don't, are unexcusable.

Lets look at the amendment which grants us this right. Why was it put in place, along with other amendments? It boils down to we didn't have a way to fight the British. We had to house them in our homes, we were restricted from fighting back.. that's why these laws are implace..

excuse the stereotype... but i don't think 7/11 clerks are going to ban together and wage a war against american infidels anytime soon. There is no war we're fighting on this homeland. And if you live in suburbia.. what the **** are you protecting yourself against?

Ya know if gun fanatics around the world had a suicide issue.. i don't think i'd be bitching too much... You want to kill yourself.. go right ahead.. coward. Get some fucken hollow tips and don't miss.

But its when innocents continually get hurt that i will b****. Something needs to be changed.. until you can offer a better solution, don't down play mine.

and one last thing..

people who b**** about the laws for "waiting periods", or having to obtain a license (which is just oh so hard.. ::rollseyes:: ), the safeties on weapons sold to american citizens,.. its "blah blah blah blah blah"

Its just senseless whining over the typical American convienence factor over an law or regulation that could save someone's life. And if it saved just ONE life, its worth it.

If its low life's and the like and the low income person(s) who are deemed disposable alot of the times by society, and you buy into that, that are responsible for the high rate of murders/murdered... Are you willing to work McDonald's or construction, etc.. to take they're place? Somebody neeeds to bee there to do those jobs..

When I go hunting I don't use a shotgun, and noone else does, unless hunting Turkey, fowl, etc.
