Odd gunshop statement re:Bushmaster

[BluesBear]

I understand the dynamics of civil law. I fully understand Bushmasters desire to cut their losses to a minimum.

Unfortunately this sets a dangerous precident. Since we now have that moronic salty weapons ban out of the way we need to urge our representatives to sponsor another bill to prevent the manufacturers from being sued.

I guarantee if Ford lost a multi-million dollar lawsuit over someone dying in a hit and run accident by someone driving a stolen Mustang that the politicians in Michigan, Kentucky and other states with Ford plants in then would be Johnny-on-the-Spot saying this type of thing should be stopped.

Perhaps we need to enact some sort of blanket legislation covering all manufactures from such frivious misuses of the justice system.

If I understand Bushmaster's media announcement, They did not loose the lawsuit, but instead CHOSE to give the remaining money in their defense fund to the victim's families. It did not set a precident as there was no judgment on the case.

I fear it does set a precident. The gun grabbers will consider this a victory and therefor will encourage more people do file suits. They figure if then can get enough makers to settle for big bucks out of court they can bankrupt the manufacturers.

If you can't legislate then litigate.

The bottom line for the gun grabbers is to stop the production of guns.
And sadly for so many of the victims and survivors of victims it's all about the money. We all know the gun grabbers are all about publicity and the lawyers are all about the money.

If a member of my family was murdered I would be screaming for the heads of those directly involved. I would seek to see justice administered by terminal electro-shock therapy. I would not seek any injustice towards any innocent legitimate business.

When I read about a killing I wish for more guns available to law abiding people not less.


But then we all know I am weird.

I wish I was rich, instead of good looking. I'd sue the shysters and the people bringing this suit for infringing my civil rights.
