Time for another lawsuit

Boy are they stretching.  This is the sniper victim\'s family lawsuit against the gun makers saying:

"Paul Luvera, a Seattle-based attorney who filed suit on behalf of the relatives, said Bushmaster and distributors should have stopped doing business with Bull\'s Eye because audits by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms showed the store routinely lost track of weapons.

"If they did not know the record of the Bull\'s Eye retailer, then they certainly were negligent because it was a very blatant, shoddy business that was being conducted insofar as the inventory of rifles was concerned," Luvera said. "If they did know about it, then most assuredly they have an obligation to withhold the sale and to require them to monitor correctly the sale and the inventory of their weapons." "

I think they are just trying to stretch as far as they can go to find someone to sue.  :nut:

I agree... a lot of families just want to profit from the loss of a family member.  Like money will make up for the loss of a spouse, a father, a mother or a child.  Economically one could argue that if the bread winner was killed they should be entitled to some money - which I agree with, but to sue on the gun manufacturer is really grasping.

If this succeeds, who is to stop someone from getting a hit on poor unemployed Uncle Joe and then sueing the gunmaker to make some quick cash?

That\'s what life insurance is for.  I die and my chick gets 400 grand.


This is a very sad situation, but it just seems like they are stretching here to me.

Man, gotta love the US legal system. So damn easy to sue. Its so annoying. There should be laws that will make it harder to sue. People its alright to make profit from death. That makes me so sick.
