Blame the gun(part) not the individual. NY wins lawsuit of parts maker

Well, slippery slope has been set.
Lets not put all the blame on the individual who carried out the attack.
Lets blame the gun industry.

I’m going to sue Nestle for easy open containers for being overweight.

Ive never understood why 10 rounds is OK and 11 is insanely violent.

I think it was Collin Ferguson who took a Ruger onto a NJ train then shot 15 rounds, removed the empty magazine and loaded that same mag from a box of ammo he had in his pocket, shot 15 more rounds, and only when he was reloading for the second time did anyone decide maybe it was time to do more than cower and tremble. I guess the first 30 rounds were OK; but not one more?

The problem isnt the gun or the mag capacity, its the degradation of society that stopped making men who stood up to evil. When Heaven points a finger what will you do?

Article says they agreed to the settlement.

Mean Arms deceptively advertised that installing a device that locks a magazine on an assault weapon makes it legal under New York law, the lawsuit alleged. But since the lock can be easily removed so detachable magazines can be inserted, the manufacturer aided the illegal possession of assault weapons in New York.

Or the settlement was a cheaper option for such a small company

We dont sue the lock company when a burglar breaks the glass and unlocks the door from the inside.

It’s always a cost benefit analysis.

I’ve had 2 mediations just this week to settle civil cases. There is always the cost of litigation (including appeals).

Our society long ago turned away from both God and common sense. It became “wrong” to teach boys how to be MEN-and you see the results daily. Today there are a Lot of 20, 30, 40 year old boys but damn few Men in those demographics

Hi,

Who had the deepest pockets?

This was not a "fight against hate". It's about the 2A dieing a death from a thousand cuts.

Was this part legal? Is it a crime to modify said part? Why is that MA's fault?

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Apparently the suit had something to do with deceptive advertising. I’ve not read, nor do I care to, the complaint.
