"The Right to Sue the Gun Industry" (NY Times)

[Oxnard_Montalvo]

They're at it again, no surprise eh?

"The AR-15, which is designed to inflict maximum casualties with rapid bursts"

And all this time I thought it was designed so that the individual soldier could carry ammunition since it's smaller and lighter.

Then there's the obligatory lie, 'rapid bursts', that CLEARLY isn't even close to the truth but since this kind of agitprop is meant for those who have never nor will ever even get close to one of these guns who cares right?

But the bigger problem for the politicians is, if you allow people to sue gun manufacturers because the end user intentionally misused a firearm in a criminal act, what's to stop people for suing ANY manufacturer for the intentional misuse of ANY product? The 'lawsuit industry' is bad enough already but if this is allowed to happen the politicians KNOW they'll be sorry.

Just another backdoor to total confiscation. No manufacturer will continue to make guns in the US if this passes. Even their pockets aren't that deep.

There needs to be a right to sue media outlets that dispence rapid bursts of damaging propaganda

We need the right to sue the media - their irresponsible "reporting" has resulted in many deaths over the years.
I'm "afraid of the corrupt media" surely I have a right to "feel safe" ?

It's not going to pass.

The Donald said something about this... Would be nice to have it come thru.

Fighting dead issues is a hallmark of both political parties. It's done to garner sympathy with voters but everyone involved understands these are settled issues.

For the left it's guns and for the right it's abortion.

[dustoff31]

They already have a right to sue. They don't have a right to win, and that's what bothers them.

[Dano3467]

I like the idea of being able to sue any an all MSM outlets that propagate/repeat FUD.

[Ugly Hombre]

NYT = Bolshevik bull chit rag.

Anti- constitution pravda like obola enabler.

Doing what they do best- stirring up the useless idiots with idiot ideas.

Sue them for helping to fundamentally fook up the country.

And getting people killed by helping to prevent people from owning arms for self protection, working to help the left import illegal Aliens who kill American citizens. And so on. JMO

The comments are amazing, what a bunch of sheeple!

[Messerschmitts]

NY Times has become a domestic terrorist organisation. They are un-American, and dangerous.

Their own editor admits it's a liberal newspaper.

i thought you could sue gun manufacturers for defects but to sue them for a gun that is working proper that doesn't make sense
