Court Gives Green Light to Sniper Lawsuit
A judge in Tacoma, Washington ruled Friday that a lawsuit brought by nine families of the Washington, D.C.-area sniper attacks against the gun dealer and manufacturer that supplied the assault rifle used in the shootings should proceed toward trial. The court rebuffed arguments by Tacoma gun dealer Bull's Eye Shooter Supply and assault rifle manufacturer Bushmaster Firearms that they are immune from responsibility for supplying guns to criminals. Remember, the defendents in this case are being sued because a) the gun store had a firearm stolen from them, by admission of the criminals involved, and b) the manufacturer thought that a federal firearms license for dealers was sufficient background verification. Or, in other words, for no reason at all. |
