Judge may allow Sandy Hook "victims" to sue Glock

[Ben Cartwright SASS]

A judge is ruling today, the attorney's are claiming the AR15 was never and is not suitable for civilian use. How many other things could fall under that umbrella?

I see this going to the US Surpreme Court. In Co a Judge throw out the case against Lucking Gunner because of the Fedreal Law.

As long as they can still draw a breath they will continue to come after our guns any way they can. The lawyers are getting super rich

 

[Ben Cartwright SASS]

If it goes to the SJC it will probably get a 4-4 which means the CT Court decision will remain

And when they loose which they will, they can pay all the court costs and lawyers fees.

Actually, this could open up that can of tin foil worms as the the validity of the shooting even taking place. All those sealed death certificates and medical examiners files having to be opened up. Police officers having to testify as to why there was a mass casualty shooting drill going on at the same time in the same area. Alex Jones may even testify!
What I don't understand is why there were kids going to school there when the school was closed almost 2 years earlier. I ask this because one of my clients performed there 4 years prior to the shooting in 2008 and the school was shutting down in 2010. Just saying!!

As nice as this sounds, there are strict limits on when one can collect. One is 42 USC 1983, which is how Comm2A collects when we win a civll rights cases. There was a case on CO where the defendant collected, but that was based on a state, not a federal, law.

It is by no means a given that the plaintiffs in this case will be held liable for legal fees. In general, the bar (and hence the legislatures) don't like that as it could curtail the contingency fee industry.

Didn't that happen with the aurora theater case?

The "loser pays" provision that resulted in plaintiffs paying defendants' legal bills in the Lucky Gunner lawsuit was part of a Colorado state law that parallels the federal Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.

I think the OP made a mistake in the title

 

[rwl1955]

am I missing something here? I thought all the victims were shot w/the AR-15?

 

[ColdDayInHell]

What a bunch of ****ing idiots.

That's an insult to common idiots.

That guy has been a scumbag all of his life.

Does this mean if get hurt in a car crash, I get to sue the auto manufacturers?

 

[1903Collector]

Only if it's an MRAP or HUMVEE.

 

[Hoon]

Well what is it suitable for?

There isn't a military in the world, to my knowledge, using AR15s.

My mistake, I was mislead by what Fox reported this morning and now they corrected it and said it is Bushmaster they are going to sue.

Mk 12 is a mil issue semiautomatic AR-15 type rifle.

I stand corrected.

I thought those SPRs were chambered in 7.62, i guess not.

 

[PappyM3]

The AMU M-16 SDM-R is also semi-auto. However, it starts life as an M-16 and is only semi-auto because they drop a nice two-star trigger into it.

someone should give these lawyers a blanket.

I know it can be hard but try not to say such insane stuff.

I don't understand the logic. Not that I agree with it of course, but wouldn't it make more sense to sue the state/Fed gov since they allow the sales/purchase of evil rifles. Or better yet, for not providing the mentally ill with the proper care to protect both themselves and society from harm.

I can't wait to start suing car companies, distillery's oh joy.

Knife makers, hammer makers, power tools, baseball makers, baseball bat makers, the list is endless

Let them sue. I hope they run out of money. I might go buy a bushmaster this weekend solely on principal.
