By this same logic they should arrest everyone in a neighborhood where a crime was committed and hold them all responsible for the actions of another.
“Senate President John Morse, D-Colorado Springs, said his bill would ensure that in the future the manufacturers and sellers of assault weapons such as those used in Aurora and Sandy Hook will be held responsible for the events in civil court.”
While this retards try to find some excuse to get the actual shooter away from the electric chair on some sort of BS mental excuse.
Liberals’ ultimate goal is to have the fascist state where every Greenie/Lefty/Gay/Keynesian/PC thought can be implemented with the force of SWAT Teams not fearing their brains being splattered while kicking in doors.
Liberals live in a world of fantasy and intentions outweigh results, whereas we know that results matter, the intentions can be used in as part of the defense in a court case, but little else.
Liberals also cannot stand guns because they fear how THEY would act if given a loaded Glock...they are so angry, so jealous and with no foundation of morality, apt to kill or maim.
This is why most killers are Leftists, from Manson to Loughner...Mao, Stalin, etc. The Occupy crowd rapes, shoots heroin and kills people...the TEA Party just wants a chance for taxes to be lowered and people act civilized.
There is no difference. Colorado is just a symptom of the Liberal gun-grabber agenda.
Any state that passes legislation like this should be cut off by all firearms manufacturers for any new weapons/ammo contracts/buys. Local dealers should do the same. Do what Barrett did to CA. Cut them off.
And car dealers, and gas stations, and convenience stores...
I hope the pie-eyed DemonRATs keep it up.
They are phenomenally over-reaching.
I hope the American Soviet Press lauds their efforts 24/7 and on every front page above the fold.
Many of these Demons will be crushed in the next election.
Many of the RINOs that go along for the ride with the Demons will be ousted by Tea Party candidates in the primaries.
Make it so ...
“How about instead we hold politicians and judges personally liable...”
Assault Weapons Liability — would make manufacturers, sellers, owners or possessors of military assault firearms, strictly liable for any death or injury resulting from the weapon.
If I were a Colorado politician with any balls, I would attach a personal liability amendment to this bill each and every time that it came up. The amendment would include the stipulation that not only current members of the legislature be held liable, but that the liability would be in perpetuity, regardless of whether that person was in office or not.
The people who do their damage often leave and can never be held accountable for the really awful legislation that they inflict on the people. My proposal follows them until death wherever they may be.
They will hide behind sovereignty and state that they are protected by it. But when you try and legislate the citizens’rights away, their claim to sovereign protection ends.
who are we going to hold responsible for lightning?
Also, if a drunk driver causes an accident where people are injured or killed, and it’s determined that the driver drank a number of bottles of Budweiser beer, should the victims or their families be allowed to sue Anheuser-Busch?
I remember a case in Seattle about 25 years ago. A woman gave birth to a baby with FAS. They sued Jim Beam (IIRC) and lost. I remember it because I was waiting at the bus stop outside the courthouse the afternoon after the couple lost the case and the local news media interviewed me and asked my opinion.
It ended up on the evening TV news that night and the next day I was in court on a jury on another case and there was some hushed conversation between the attorneys and the judge. They then excused the entire jury except me and asked if I was the one in the news story. I said I was. They then wanted to know if it would affect my opinion on the current case. I said it was not germane to our case and they let it go.
Heck, the case I was involved with was about a guy who lost his leg because a doctor used artificial vein to fix a problem.
But this whole post is TMI.
Bottom line is that it’s ridiculous to hold a manufacturer responsible for the missuse of their product. They should only be responsible when it fails to function properly. And when a bad guy uses a gun to shoot a person, it functioned properly. The shooter is the problem.
Will Colorado Dems hold automakers liable in accidents?.
How about we hold politicians responsible for all the lives they ruined?
Exactly. The morons on the left are always pulling this kind of idiocy without thinking. Imagine what this would do to the price of a car. Democrats are a bunch of morons.
I guess it would be a good idea to allow ambulance chasers to sue the biological parents too for creating a criminal or crazy kid. Go lawyers!!!
