Sandy Hook Parents Sue Bushmaster: You Sold ‘Weapon of Choice’ for Mass Murderers
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/12/15/sandy-hook-parents-sue-bushmaster-you-sold-weapon-of-choice-for-mass-murderers.html


not "haha" funny, but definitely comedy. Why cant they just sue the mom or school system for raising a murderer? it makes just as much sense as suing the maker of the tool used.

My gun is much better at murder than that ar-15 and it came with a warning that it was dangerous and not a toy, isnt that enough?

quote:

A lawsuit filed Monday by 10 Sandy Hook victims’ families claims Adam Lanza would not have been able to kill 26 people in five minutes without his “weapon of choice,” a Bushmaster AR-15.

“The number of lives lost in those 264 seconds was made possible” by the rifle that was “engineered to deliver maximum carnage with extreme efficiency,” according to the lawsuit against AR-15 manufacturer Bushmaster

sounds like a hosed up marketing technique

The mom is probably, as we say in the legal profession, "judgment proof" in that she doesn't have enough money to pay any substantial judgment against her. Cardinal rule of suits in tort is that you always sue the entity with the money.

As an aside, I hope they win this suit and put Bushmaster out of business. Guns are horrible. :)

I get the feeling that they don't really expect to win, but are just loving with the gun company/trying to keep awareness up. Can't blame them, really.

It's expensive and time-consuming bringing suit. You sue whoever has the most money first. If you want you can also sue the people who are actually responsible, but that's just for funsies. The important thing is to make sure you're suing them for an absolutely staggering amount of money, multiple millions, and that you include everyone you can think of who has money as defendents. Also you should get a jury and not a judge, because the jury is going to be sloppier and more likely to be influenced by feeling sorry for you instead of the law. At the end of trial you might get a result that looks like this:

Judgement: $50,000,000
Comparative fault breakdown:
  • The murderer, for murdering: %60 = $30,000,000
  • The murderer's mom, for raising a murderer: %10 = $5,000,000
  • The school, for not protecting your kids from murder: %20 = $10,000,000
  • Nike, for letting the murderer move around faster: %5 = $2,500,000
  • Bushmaster, for making the murderer's gun: %5 = $2,500,000

But the murderer's dead and his estate consists of the $20 in his wallet and his last check for $135.70 from Pizza Hut. The murderer's mom pays you $3,000 and then goes bankrupt. The school produces evidence that they don't have any money at all and in fact are millions in debt, blaming the state. Nike and Bushmaster just write you out a couple checks. So you get $5,003,135.70, minus costs of course, virtually all of which came from the least responsible, but deepest, pockets.
If you're really lucky maybe you get the court to declare that not only were Bushmaster and Nike partially responsible, but they also knew about the risk and had deliberately concealed it or otherwise been bad guys, and then you can get punitive damages, where the court tacks on some arbitrary fee which has nothing to do with whatever hurt you might've suffered and everything to do with how much they think it would take to make Bushmaster and Nike feel bad. In that case maybe you get a surprise hundred million bonus, yet another reason to blame Nike instead of the murderer.

edit: your final recovery doesn't include the $20 cash because it was stolen by cops
