Word of warning for when Gun Control groups talk grieving family members into suing.. [View all]

You could be on the hook for THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS...

From CSGV's facebook page:

This is the most disgusting and outrageous story we've read in a long time. Two parents who lost their daughter in the Aurora massacre are now going to be required to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees to the companies that armed James Holmes because of a Colorado law

Well duh.... If someone would have read the law, before filing lawsuits, they would have known that they would end up losing, and writing BIG checks. In this case, for $220,000. Since the Brady Campaign, Bloomberg, and Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, supported this lawsuit in the first place, I wonder if they will help pay for it?
