Suing the Gun Maker

That’s about as stupid as suing the sun for you getting sunburned. If there is any competent judge in this country (or any country) who is not dedicated to pushing the liberal platform, I hope this gets in front of him/her. Frankly, if this is allowed to be adjudicated, then think about the thousands of lawsuits that are going to be filed against automakers because one of their customers did something stupid with their cars. There is nothing “actionable” in manufacturing guns. The only time the gun is able to hurt someone is when it is held in the hand of an evil-doer, and the manufacturer cannot be responsible for that. Yes, guns can (and do) kill people. Sometimes illegally, other times legally, by cops trying to keep us safe. If this suit succeeds, it will be a major miscarriage of justice, and will have a “chilling effect” on gun manufacturers everywhere. The person or persons filing this suit just want a “big payday” and they have selected this innocent maker of a LEGAL product to be the paymaster. It will also have a chilling effect on manufacturers of legal producers everywhere—not just gunmakers. they’re suing Smith & Wesson for not including “smart gun” technology in the manufacture of their guns. Which is abysmally stupid of them. Smart Gun technology is “iffy,” at best. And they have no right to dictate what is included in S&W products. (Captain’s Journal)
