rights aren't absolute bigtree Mar 2016 #45

You would have to ban all semi-automatic rifles Duckhunter935 Mar 2016 #52

I'd start with this gun of choice for the recent mass killings bigtree Mar 2016 #60

The AR 15 is not Duckhunter935 Mar 2016 #62

The AR-15 was designed for military and police use bigtree Mar 2016 #66

That would be the M16 Duckhunter935 Mar 2016 #67

this is the AR-15 rifle which is the subject of debate bigtree Mar 2016 #68

do you know what the difference is? Duckhunter935 Mar 2016 #70

The Clinton-signed Assault Weapons Ban covered AR-15 until the ban expired. yallerdawg Mar 2016 #4

The weapon used was assault weapons ban compliant Duckhunter935 Mar 2016 #6

If we ban the sale of AR-15's (AR-style) - yallerdawg Mar 2016 #9

There were no "modifications" TeddyR Mar 2016 #31

Correct Duckhunter935 Mar 2016 #41

Bernie always supported a ban on assault weapons. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #75

This letter is in response to what Sanders just said, not his record yallerdawg Mar 2016 #78

Implying that Bernie wants these weapons sold to civilians is dishonest. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #80

Bernie said he would look again at the gun manufacturing liabiity law. yallerdawg Mar 2016 #92

That is what SLAPP lawsuits intend to do, bankrupt gun manufacturers. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #93

This is about the legality of selling a weapon used repeatedly for mass kilings. yallerdawg Mar 2016 #95

You cannot and should not be able to sue a manufacturer for producing and selling legal products. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #96

You went down the rabbit hole! yallerdawg Mar 2016 #98

If the product is defective then the manufacturer can already be sued. beam me up scottie Mar 2016 #100

Litigation is the tool used to determine if a product is defective TeddyR Mar 2016 #101

Sorry, NO. Should Ford be sued when a drunk driver kills someone? Or Miller Brewing Co.? AzDar Mar 2016 #55

The auto industry does not have immunity. Thinkingabout Mar 2016 #85

While I sympathize immensely with these people, Vinca Mar 2016 #57

Why immunity from liability for only this one industry? Why not let it be litigated? swag Mar 2016 #58

They are not immune from liability if one of their products is defective and causes harm. Vinca Mar 2016 #63

What if the way they market their guns and to whom is "defective"? Koinos Mar 2016 #88

That's a stretch. Vinca Mar 2016 #94
