And it is completely legal. I can see holding a manufactuer accountable if they broke the law or took reckless action....but this is like saying a drunk driver who killed someone--quick, what make car was he driving, let's sue them.
At some point this could end up in the SC....

I try not to even think of Sandy Hook considering how absolutely horrible and unimaginable things were. No matter what happened to the shooter, the parents were essentially given a life sentence of remembering their lost child that was senselessly taken away. We all feel terrible of what happened.
Nothing is going to bring those lost children back. Legal actions such as this are essentially to assign blame. I'm sure the gun manufacturer had no idea this was going to take place. As long as the gun manufacturer legally manufactured and sold the weapons through legally authorized stores and outlets, they are blameless.
Everyone including Oberon and August made good points as well. It could be these lawyers want to make a name for themselves in that they slayed the " dragon " There has to be a common sense way to keep weapons out of the hands of those who shouldn't possess them. This isn't the way. I hope the case is dismissed.
As you said Neal, vehicles of every kind kill a greater number of people every year in auto crashes. Should they be banned as well ?
