Whoa whoa whoa Taco Man ! There's a whole lotta comments you just rolled into one. Yes it's Midnight and that's why things get talked about here compared to other threads. Gun manufacturers get sued every day but the Constitution is on their/my side. Uvalde victims families will get justice. Guns don't kill people… people kill people.
Yes I agree Uvalde victims' families both will and should get justice, suing gun manufacturers is not the way to go about getting justice! They're not responsible for the criminal misuse of their products is what I mean!
The PLCAA of 2005 prohibits suing firearms manufacturers, BUT they can be sued if their marketing can be linked to marketing towards children. The only thing I can find about Daniel Defense specifically is ONE picture of a child with a rifle in his lap, and a tagline that says to “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it,” basically, saying teach them about gun safety early, which is correct. But liberals and progressives have taken this ONE tweet and blew it up beyond all reality, and says that it means to teach firearms glorification to kids. DD's timing wasn't great for that tweet, as it was posted about a week before Uvalde, as was the almost cryptic tagline.
Thanks Ragnar The Redneck that answers my question!
So I believe there is a reason people can't sue a gun manufacture when someone uses a firearm to harm another. That would certainly open up the door for someone suing GM/Ford/etc, for killing someone by running over them with their vehicle. The vehicle didn't drive itself, a person did. Same with firearms. A gun can't fire off a round all by itself (unless you're Alec Baldwin who claimed the gun went off all by itself), a human has to pull the trigger. Just my 2¢.
With all of the liberal judges around, it wouldn't take much to prove DD was marketing to children. Not that it would be a valid judgement, it would probably get challenged all the way to the Supreme Court, but the liberals have an agenda to curtail or severely limit the 2nd.
Yeah that's what I've always said about suing gun manufacturers too! Would be like suing the big 3 because someone used one of their vehicles to run over somebody!
Yeah I know the whole purpose of suing gun manufacturers is not necessarily to win the case, although that would be nice to most liberals, it's actually to bankrupt them and drive them out of business! Most small and family owned businesses can't afford all those legal fees!
Exactly. Thats what has been happening here in Connecticut. A buddy mine is a part owner of a small gun manufacturing company. They moved south to a more friendly state.
I don't blame your buddy for moving south, I know a lot firearm companies are doing that!
He didn't have much choice. Either go broke due to high manufacturing costs here in this state, or wait till someone sued the company....or both.
Isn't he a truck driver or bus driver now??!! Lol! Seems like I heard that somewhere!
