Family Blames Gun-Seller for Murderous Rampage

[TPaine7]

33. This whole thing is obviously the fault of the negligent seller and the manufacturer.

These negligent sellers and manufacturers should be held accountable. For example, if the gun was originally sold to a police department or officer (as in other lawsuit cases) what manufacturer doesn't know that guns sold to police can end up like this one? Manufacturers should provide an employee to stay with each gun throughout its operational life--to ensure that nothing bad happens.

The plain fact is that even if you don't agree that pawn-shop owners are responsible to diagnose mental illness during the course of a transaction or that manufacturers are negligent if they don't provide a gun chaperone, it's only fair to let the courts decide.

That's right. Anyone should be able to sue for anything. No instant mental diagnosis? Sue! No gun chaperone? Sue! Don't like the way that guy looked at you? Sue! That woman won't date you? Sue! That guy doesn't know you exist? Sue! Let the courts sort it out, I say.

One great advantage of this (before that silly law to protect the death merchants) was that mayors who hate guns--Bloomberg and MAIG--could have spent unlimited amounts of taxpayer money to go after gun manufacturers, importers and the rich and powerful mom and pop gun dealers.

Just think, Bloomberg would have simply needed to find a few sympathetic juries--out of thousands of tries--to defeat manufacturers and importers. Then he could have bent the entire industry to his will. Perhaps he and his fellow mayors could have taken control of the manufacturers (though many of his mayors would be disqualified from touching the guns their offices would have controlled, having personally been caught and convicted of felonies).

You gun militants would still have had a right to keep and bear arms--provided you built them in your personal machine shop! A gun scarce utopia AND a robust Second and Fourteenth Amendment! Win-win!

It would have been beautiful, but the right wing, misogynistic, racist, NRA controlled Congress stopped the dream.
