“Cases like this send a powerful message to those bad apples in the gun industry who want to profit from the criminal gun trade thinking that they‘re above the law and they’ll never have to pay the cost when innocent people are shot,” he said. “And cases like this send a message that even if you don’t care about the human consequences, if you care about your bottom line you should act responsibly.”
Interesting that the made in Ohio Hi-Point is at the center of this. The old anti lie that cheap firearms are made only for criminals strikes again. I'd like to know just what crime Hi-Point is supposed to be guilty of. Aren't they jumping the gun by allowing a lawsuit without a conviction that demonstrates criminal misconduct first? It seems to me that PLCAA should stand here. Am I missing something?
Don't these guys realize that they missed the wave of this nonsense? It was about 12 years ago and they all failed.
I like to swap brass... and I'm looking for .32 H&R Mag, .327 Fed Mag, .380 Auto and 10mm. If you have some and would like to swap for something else, send me a note!
With this logic I should be able to sue GM if I get hit by a Chevy!?!?!

AND the kid who got suspended for it too.
If a company's guns incite criminal activity that would otherwise not have occurred, then obviously the shooter is not to blame, so he can sue as well, right....?

If the wound has traces of copper, lead, primer chemicals and gunpowder residue, there's the incriminating evidence to go after the raw materials suppliers as well; no reason to let them off the hook. Mo' money for the predator shootee, and his pro-bono lawyers.
