The way I understand it was....Bernie didn't feel that you should be able to sue gun manufacturers for crimes committed by criminals.

This is probably a much more complicated issue than it seems but I think you should be able to sue anyone, depending on the crime/issue. I don't get how you can give blanket protection to an entire industry.
Bernie's probably wrong on this one.

what kind of logic is this :mindblown:


the manufacturer's dont sell the guns to individuals, and even if they did, it's legal to do so. This is like suing Honda any time someone driving a civic ran over someone. And Lanza didnt legally own the guns used, his mother did.

It's called negligent entrustment.

Why Sandy Hook parents are suing a gunmaker - CNN.com

You might ask: Since Remington did not come into direct contact with the shooter -- that happened at a gun retailer -- how would that apply? The lawsuit argues that the way in which the company sells and markets a military-style weapon to the civilian market is a form of negligent entrustment.
"Remington took a weapon that was made to the specs of the U.S. military for the purpose of killing enemy soldiers in combat -- and that weapon in the military is cared for with tremendous amount of diligence, in terms of training, storage, who gets the weapon, and who can use it," Koskoff, the attorney for the families, said. "They took that same weapon and started peddling it to the civilian market for the purposes of making a lot of money."


I'm not saying this particular case has merit.
But what I am saying is that negligent entrustment DOES EXIST and therefore the ability to sue a gun manufacturer SHOULD EXIST. I don't believe in blanket protection for any industry.

the lawsuit is nonsense. It's not the same weapon since it doesnt have automatic fire. And since other rifles have the same caliber, all they're upset about is the skin which makes it look more dangerous than it is.

You're not addressing the issue.

The issue is not THIS PARTICULAR LAWSUIT.

The issue is whether an entire industry deserves immunity from lawsuits.
