A pair of wrongful death lawsuits filed last month in separate state courts accuse 13 defendants of negligence, public nuisance and violation of business codes. The cases were brought by Brady United, the national nonprofit that advocates against gun violence, which said Monday that the suits are the first of their kind in the nation.

Families of shooting victims in California rampage are suing sellers of ‘ghost guns’
Families of those killed and wounded in a rural California shooting rampage three years ago are suing manufacturers and sellers of “ghost gun” kits that provide easy-to-assemble firearm parts that make it difficult to track or regulate owners.

If the judge has half a brain he will throw it out. They sold a thing that could become a gun. That thing was then manufactured, and misused. There were at least three steps between seller and shooter.
ReplyDeleteBeing California, it will probably have wings for a while. During the trial, they should ask, however exactly what percentage would have reduced the liability. Basically corner them into clarify their wanting to ban blocks of aluminum.
DeleteLefty judge, half a brain? Who are you kidding?
DeleteWhile we're at it, let's start suing auto manufacturers because drunks use cars to kill people.
ReplyDeleteFucking idiots are apparently too dumb to understand what a can of worms they're trying to open.

"Cobbled" together? I beg your pardon. I'm a skilled crafts...person!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, a motived person could find all the cobblyparts he needs at Ace hardware.
The manufacturers were not evading any laws. They are in fact abiding by the law which only makes it a firearm when the lower receiver is finished. Not only should the judge throw out the suit, but he should sanction Brady United an amount of money to make them think twice about launching frivolous lawsuits of this type. Defending such a lawsuit will bankrupt many of these manufacturers, while the cost of the lawsuit is pocket change to Brady United who is financed by Michael Bloomberg to advance their anti gun platform. Basically they are using the courts and the obscene cost of defending litigation to accomplish ghost gun regulation that they cannot get by legislation. That may be evading the legislative process.
ReplyDeleteThe process IS the punishment.
DeleteNope gunna sink GG, thats the plan don’t you see?
ReplyDeleteWhat's got the ATF's foot in the door is the bare 80-percent frame is just a chunk of plastic and not a firearm.
ReplyDeletePolymer 80 is selling "Buy, Build, Shoot" kits with all the parts necessary to assemble a firearm for people that have trouble chasing down a Glock slide.

How do they know they were shot with a ghost gun? What do they have as proof? Isn't the onus of proof on the litigant, they must prove it was a ghost gun.
