Suing the hotel for not providing proper vetting of guests?
I fear that the decision on whether the lawsuits are viable will depend on the politics of the judges. I've read recently that the judiciary is becoming as polarized as anything. Faced with negative lower court outcomes, precedents build and only can only hope that Trump's two golden boys would move SCOTUS to 'save the day'. However, will they take the case, will Roberts support a clear and unambiguous RKBA decision. I doubt it. The NYC travel case will be a diagnostic.
- because my lawyer says that I can't get any money from the shooter... ." I don't blame the shooter"
Although this is tragic and I emphasize with her, this shouldn’t go anywhere and I don’t think it will. Does anyone else?

I don't blame the shooter
A semi-auto AR15 requires a separate, external device (i.e., bump stock) in order to be "restored to fire automatically."
Semper veritas.-And no one wins but the lawyers... .
The NYC case will be mooted. Plaintiffs have gotten everything they asked for via NYC rule changes and, more importantly, NY State legislation.
"Voluntary Cessation" no longer applies because the defendant, NYC, cant change the rules back after the case is mooted because of NY State legislation. NY state is not a party to the lawsuit.
Alan Beck, the attorney for Young v Hawaii, has commented extensively on the subject.
So is the NYC case officially dead at the SCOTUS level? Was there some announcement by SCOTUS? I thought the argument was that even the NYS legislature could reinstate the law, such that it needed to be found unconstitutional ?
You guys are missing the point. It's a GUN. AR15 is a number and poster child of anti gunners. If it was a Garand, M1 carbine, Ruger M14/30 or SKS it would get the same bad press. But what surprises me is the low amount of AK variations that are out there that haven't been used. My only thought is the AR/M4 platform is popular and big on gameing sites that show you how to actually handle one. The character has to handle, load mags, cock and reload to fire. Makes it pretty easy when yo have a real one in your hands. Think about it.
A semi-auto AR15 requires a separate, external device (i.e., bump stock) in order to be "restored to fire automatically." And technically, you can't "restore" a function that didn't previously exist. The AR15, as manufactured and sold, does not have automatic fire capability. This lawsuit is a fishing expedition and should be over before it starts.
Even with that "external device", AKs and ARs are NOT firing "automatically" because the recoil of the firearm is causing the trigger to reset every time. When it resets, it is a "separate function" of the trigger to fire again, despite the speed with which this occurs. Don't confuse and aggravate the situation more than has already been done by others.
Couldn't agree moreWhile there are plenty of mistakes by the local, state and federal authorities to blame, not placing most all of the blame on Cruz is ridiculous.
Only humans can be responsible for their actions, NOT inanimate objects.

I don't understand.
The bolded words are pretty specific and a bump stock (as we all know) does not cause the weapon to fire more than one shot per trigger pull. How can they ignore that?
