Lawyers zero in on marketing of gun used in Uvalde school shooting
UVALDE, Texas - Lawyers for the family of a 10-year-old victim of a Uvalde gunman have requested marketing material from the Georgia-based manufacturer behind the AR-15-style assault rifle used to kill 21 people at Uvalde’s Robb Elementary School.

Lawyers are scum....
ReplyDeleteNice (not) slant to the article. First, the unique theory that they can sue based on marketing is still not proven, as the case was never presented to a jury. It was settled out of court after Remington went bankrupt and the holding company settled in order to limit damages. That's not the same as "winning" a lawsuit. But now that the idea has been beaten into the public consciousness, good luck getting anyone to listen to reason.
ReplyDeleteSecond, they are "asking". That's not the same as a subpoena. Basically they want Daniel Defense to supply the rope with which to hang themselves. I'd tell them to pound sand, but that's just me. I expect we'll see a lot more of this going on real soon.
Not only that, but I don't see how a company in North Carolina can be sued for violating a Connecticut law when the tort was actually committed in Texas. I would think that the plaintiff would have to show that there was a direct connection between the Connecticut law and what happened in Texas. I just don't see that working. This is one of those times where I think the legal system is being manipulated in ways that never should happen.
DeleteAgreed, but they're gonna try anyway.
DeleteThey need to zero in on the whole .gov/media/pharma complex involvement!
ReplyDeleteThis is the very definition of insanity, without one single wit of thinking involved. To sue a manufacturer of a product because the way the purchaser decided to use it is simply imbecilic.
ReplyDeleteIf this shit is allowed to stand, you will soon be allowed to sue a hammer mfg. if you chose to use the hammer as a saw and it didn't work. Next will you be allowed to sue the farmer for growing the food that made you fat. How about the spoon mfg. if you get diabetes.?Where does this stupid shit end? It ends when people that make up this society get the balls to say NO.
Shakespeare: "First Thing We Do, Let's Kill All The Lawyers". I wouldn't go that far, but it would be nice if we could cull the herd.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised. I had to serve on a jury where a man refinishing kitchen cabinets in a home set the kitchen and himself on fire when he poured lacquer thinner on the counter next to the gas stove.
ReplyDeleteThe idiot refinisher was suing the maker of the lacquer thinner on the basis that they didn't specifically identify that behavior as dangerous on the label of the can.
A few "Karens" voted to award "the poor man" something.
The stupid trial went a week.
What a shocker! Let's not look into how he obtained the guns, any record as a juvie or other factors that may actually help explain how this happened in order to try and prevent the next one.
ReplyDeleteThen there is the culpability of the local police, especially the dirt bag Chief of school police, who should be suspended pending investigation and before he takes his seat in the city council.
Just like immigration, they do not want to actually solve the problem, they want the political capital.
So, Daniel Defense markets their weapons to law enforcement officers too. Likely that some of the tacticool operators standing around in the hallway at Robb Elementary with their fingers up their butts had DD rifles. That didn't make them dangerous.
ReplyDeleteInstead of going after DD, how about going after the company that make the drugs the murderer was on. That probably had more to do with this case than anything else.
