Reply #20: This is totally arse backwards....WTF????

[Pert_UK]

The manufacturer gets sued for continuing to supply a dealership with a proven track record of losing guns....

Why the fuck didn't the authorities close this clown-shop down???

How about, "Despite audits by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms showing that Bull's Eye had dozens of missing guns, the ATF consistently failed to shut the place down."

Insane. Now manufacturers have to enforce the law and standards of every dealer they use?


"Bushmaster should have required Bull's Eye to implement simple, reasonable security measures" - why? Would Ford be at fault if one of their dealerships decided to plant bombs in every car before they sold it? No. It's the lax standards at the dealership and the inaction from the ATF that was the problem here, but as somebody pointed out, this settlement is really cheap for Bushmaster, so is probably the easiest option.
