Sandy Hook Families apos Suit Against Gun Maker Will Test Federal Law - Hartford Courant

dec 15 2014
The lawsuit filed Monday by victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting, seeking to hold liable the manufacturer of the Bushmaster AR-15 used in the massacre, will test the 2005 federal law designed to protect gun companies by using an exemption normally applied to car accident cases.

The lawsuit by families of nine students and adults killed and one surviving teacher who was shot several times by Adam Lanza will attempt to use what is known as the negligent entrustment exemption to the law. In a negligent entrustment case, a party can be held liable for entrusting a product, in this case the Bushmaster rifle, to another party who then causes harm to a third party,

"The court needs to decide whether they want to extend negligent entrustment from a retailer selling a gun to someone standing right in front of them to the theory that the manufacturer of the weapon is also responsible when the weapon they made is then sold by another party to a third person," Albany Law School Professor Timothy Lytton said Monday.

No - the court does not have to decide that. It is the job of legislators, not judges, to write laws,

the suit is bogus and the judge should assess massive penalties against those assholes for filing such idiocy
 
I'm Surprised the Clerk didn't kill it on her desk... (just kidding) This suit wont see the light of day. The tool used does not have a will or power to act on its own.. Goes back to user.... Suit will be DOA in the first hearing.

Liberalism is commonsense denied...

Only a liberal anti-gun control freak would file this suit..

You're forgetting that we live in the age of Obama.

Sure you can.

When did they make a rule that nobody can sue a car maker over speed?

TWINK!

Yes it can, it's called stare decisis and many courts do that.

HAHAHA. Stare decisis means "the decision stands" and that's not what is involved here, you dunce. This is a case of judges brazenly asked to write laws and they should decline, though i doubt they do.

Times change. We now have a president who openly says he won't enforce laws he doesn't like and openly rewrites laws so they say what he thinks they should say. Rule of law is gone under obozo.
