Quote:How in the world can they seriously think that it's an inanimate objects fault?,,,From what I heard, it's not about the firearm, per se...But the fact that it was made available to the average citizen due to it being a "Military" design...
While I can understand the need for the victims' families to blame someone, since the shooter and his parent, due to death, is not available...
If it had been a fully auto Class III firearm, the claim might have had some legs, but otherwise, it's just an 'average' firearm,,,But if the claimants are successful to any degree, it will open up the potential for an manufacturer of any "military" design weapon, including a live owner, to be sued if it is involved in a crime.
