I've asked this several times with no answer.  If we take away all the scary guns and these mass shootings still happen......then what?  

 

Everything we already discussed, Jim - you shared some great ideas last week. I would also like to see something done with assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.  They are weapons of war that have no place in society.

 

Something has to be done at the federal level. I know gun advocates will point to Chicago to justify we do NOTHING. Well, you could argue Chicago is handicapped by neighboring states that do NOT have similar gun legislation.

 

Enough is enough.

Weapons of WAR!!  Killers gonna kill. I suggest you stay home. Maybe with that hysterical woman whose video you shared. She looked fun 
 

I’m not the best at handling weapons but I’m pretty sure I could take out a few dozen folks at the local grocery store with my Glocks and a few ready to go clips. Take away the scary guns will do little if anything to fix this problem. It’s all between the ears of the killers.

Forget racism. We aren't even human anymore.

The bystanders are ^%$#ing cowards.

 

Ok in my mind this has very little to do with racism and EVERYTHING to do with our judicial system.  Why was this animal who was convicted of killing his mother ever let out on parole?  A leopard rarely changes his spots. That poor woman.

A CHILD and three others were killed in a mass shooting at an office building in California last night, authorities said.

Hmmm... no suspect description.  I guess we all know what that means.

The first step should be to allow citizens the right to sue gun manufacturers,

That makes a lot of sense.  Also, almost 4000 people drown every year. Time to organize a class action suit against department of water I guess?

 

And lightning and steak knives, we are coming for you next!

You can sue over glasses of water if you want. You have that right. But not for guns.

You can absolutely sue manufacturers too. 
 

Read and understand the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. 
 

But where is the precedence in which someone can sue a manufacturer for a crime someone commits with a product they manufactured? I can’t think of a one.

Suing because a product is unsafe? Happens all the time

That’s not the whole picture. The sponsors of the bill believed — not unreasonably, in the minds of many legal scholars — that an industry connected to a fundamental constitutional right deserves special protection.

 

“For example, Exxon is not allowed to endorse an electoral candidate, but The New York Times is because of the special constitutional role that the press plays,” said Adam Winkler, a constitutional lawyer and author of Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America. The gun industry, similarly, is crucial to exercising Second Amendment rights.

Plus product liability law is very complex.  For example, differentiation of circumstances of intentional misuse or accident.  Assumed and implied liability of the user and the supplier. 

 

But that's why lawyers love passing new laws.  It keeps them all busy, well compensated, and employed!

Just get rid of that law. Let the people, the victims, get their day in court
