Despite being 2% of the population...

Is there a legal reason why the families shouldn't be able to file a civil suit against the companies?

Waste of the courts time and tax payer dollars

usually companies are exempt from being held liable for criminal use of their products

Why would a manufacturer be liable multiple steps down the line?

a knife manufacturer is not responsible for a person's criminal actions

Like Colt sells to people who sell to people who use gun. The people in the middle are held to standards for sales

@Beemann parents mad and sad?

even the ppl in the middle are not responsible if it was a lawful purchase.

Yup

But that's where the buck would go next

of course

some ppl use the example of drunk driving and trying to sue ford, but i prefer the knife company example.

You would have to have a basis for the company not having distributed to a state approved distributor, not having done background checks, those background checks being *valid in the first place* etc

Someone forcefed my friend fruit loops until he died. Lemme sue Kellogs

pretty much.

or suing stihl because the cartel chopped my friend into pieces with a chainsaw

I don't think you can legally sue the CIA

fine, insert random sicko with a chainsaw

My kid had a heart attack cuz I fed him big macs every day. Lemme sue that farmer

its such a clear attempt at shutting down gun manufacturers in a side step for gun control.

Yup

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to file a lawsuit. I just don't think it will get very far.

Well I think you can so long as you can get countersued for malicious use of the civil court system :^)

it should be thrown out with prejudice

Yup

Yeah, exactly

The threat of a countersuit is the check and balance against frivolous lawsuits

^^ How is this satire.. lol

Do you want to join the voices yelling for people to "RUN!"

huh? I'm saying how she hears voices in her head... It's the truth. Shes crazy

My favorite comment was that the voices where her victims.

Probably true, Seth Rich is probably whispering it to her right now
