The families of the Newtown shooting are suing the manufacturer and possibly the seller of the weapon used. Here is one plaintiff's reasoning:
Bill Sherlach, whose wife, Mary, was killed in the shooting, said he believes in the Second Amendment but also that the gun industry needs to be held to "standard business practices" when it comes to assuming the risk for producing, making and selling a product.
"These companies assume no responsibility for marketing and selling a product to the general population who are not trained to use it nor even understand the power of it," he said.
So, under that logic, if my child is carrying a light bulb and slips and falls on it, then the manufacturer should be responsible? Or, better yet, they have a hammer and accidentally hit their finger while learning to use it, I should sue? What if they use the hammer to defend themselves from a home invasion, can the assailant sue the hammer maker? This kind of seriously flawed and emotionally childish reasoning is not acceptable and the suit should be tossed out as a waste of time. Should a car manufacturer be sued for selling a sports car to a person that has not taken a performance driving class?
This was a tragic case of a fucked up mother refusing to see her child was messed up and needed medical attention and likely a facility, she doctor shopped, moved, lied and did all kinds of things to "protect" her fucked up child from getting decent medical care. Then this jacked up woman purchased firearms and obviously didn't have them secured from her mentally fucked up kid and he went on a shooting spree. People want someone to blame, that's OK, however they don't want to place personal responsibility on people and they want someone to pay up. Specifically lawyers want someone to pay them and that someone is now corporate America.
There is no evidence the weapon used malfunctioned, there is no evidence that the store involved didn't follow the law and there is no one to blame but the fucked up guy who's fucked up mom overprotected for his whole life.
