Bushmaster sued by Newtown

Given that there has already been a nearly identical lawsuit like this, I can't see this gaining much traction, but who knows.

What I think is just sad is how the ambulance chasers have persuaded these victims' families of placing the blame on the manufacturer, rather than the user.

    A blatant game of Lawyer Lotto (tm)

    Its all about picking the pockets of anyone they think they can.

    If they can do this, they can also sue GM or any other car maker when a drunk driver gets behind the wheel and then kills someone.

    A prime example of why we need tort reform in this country.

    Facing legal action like this in the US, I think I would move all manufacturing out of the US to some place like Japan that would protect the company from being responsible or even be potentially responsible for the actions of those who use their products.

    You know, I'm not a big conspiracy guy. But, for some reason, I have seen so many odd circumstances surrounding that event that I just don't think we know what happened there. I actually haven't come to any conclusions because the stuff we've seen on it is so strange.
