Finally the gun industry and hopefully the nra will have to address their complicit support in mass shootings.

With a little luck, they could be forced out of business, or at least fined to the extent that it will not be profitable to make the weapons of choice in mass shootings.

Provide proof of mass deaths by texting.

Guns however, are quite another story.

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

There is not one firearm or ammunition manufacturer, sporting goods store, outfitter, hunting supplier, FFL, or firearm accessories manufacturer who does not adamantly oppose the illegal use of firearms, and that includes mass shootings. The NRA sponsors dozens of firearm safety training programs for all ages, and they too oppose the illegal use of firearms.

In fact, the NRA supported the bill to ban bump stocks--which by the way is not a firearm. A bump stock is a novelty item, no firearms manufacturer makes them. You don't need one of those contraptions to bump fire a semi-auto firearm.

The parents filing this lawsuit are going to be very sorry. They are going up against businesses with a hell of a lot of money, resources, citizen support, and statutory protection. The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is a United States law which protects firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable when crimes have been committed with their products. Both manufacturers and dealers can still be held liable for damages resulting from defective products, breach of contract, criminal misconduct, and other actions for which they are directly responsible in much the same manner that any U.S.-based manufacturer of consumer products is held responsible.

Stephen Paddock did not use defective products, he purchased all guns and ammunition legally, and he, not the gun manufacturers, breached the contract he made when he bought the guns. No owner or employee of any firearm manufacturer was involved in any criminal conduct.

The lawsuit implies that manufacturers of AR15s designed the gun to make it easy to convert it to full auto fire. This is patently false. Bump stocks were not even on the drawing board when the AR15 semi-auto Sporter was released.

Colt is the original manufacturer of the semi-auto AR15. They used the M16 as a starting point and redesigned the trigger and bolt mechanism to fire semi-auto only, and they did so in such a way that the mechanisms could not be converted to full auto without a complete overhaul of the gun, which would include obtaining military parts, such as the BCG, auto/select fire sear and trigger group.

We need to ban automobiles as well.

Cell phones don't cause deaths.
Guns don't cause deaths.
You can surround yourself with both of these objects and nothing will happen.
NOTHING.
Until someone picks it up and uses it. If he uses it in the wrong way, BLAME HIM,
not the gun or phone. Sure as hell don't blame ME.....I didn't do it.
So keep your friggin' hands off my guns.

If I give up all my guns tomorrow, will that stop gun violence?

The knife industry
Baseball bat
These can be traced back to the steel industry and logging industry which should be put out of business for the thousands of murders using these weapons.

I***tic thought by liberals that cannot accept the states and or cities with the highest gun ownership, open carry and fewest restrictions have the lowest number of gun crimes while the opposite is true of liberal run cities with the highest restrictions

Mikeyavelli

Yeah, they think that if I gave up my guns now, it would stop mass shootings and gunfire in the ghettos. Sorry kommiecrats, it ain't my guns that are the problem. But they will become a problem if you come to get them.
