I’m not reading this tripe. They’re suing because “it’ll show the gun companies what they’re doing is wrong”. Oh, and they’ll be glad to settle out of court I’ll bet!!

A confusingly written Florida statute stands in the way, the attorneys wrote. If the defendants claim that [the law] entitles them to immunity from such claims, and the courts agree, the victims will be forced to pay the gun makers and sellers legal fees instead of recovering damages.
There’s nothing confusing about this law. And I hope the plaintiffs are bankrupted by those legal fees.

Finding a liberal Judge who will “make” the appropriate law allowing the suit to move forward in 3-2-1.....

Loser-pays should be the standard for civil suits, IMO.

Federal law already prohibits such suits. SLAP suits can land the lawyers in hot water.

This means a person could sue a auto dealer and the auto manufacturer when a drunk driver kills someone...

“Right-then call Ford when someone dies in a crash”
Happens if that Ford is the cause. But if not the cause of the crash (operator action), no suit possible.
Twas ever thus......

then automakers are also ‘complicit’ when people use vehicles to murder other people- knife manufacturers are complicit when people die from knives- 5 gallon pail makers are ‘complicit’ when kids drown in buckets- toothbrush makers are ‘complicit’ when people choke to death accidentally- etc etc etc=-

Those promoting victim disarmament do not care about the rule of law or logic.
They want the guns gone (at least for others).
They are simply saying guns are bad, bad, bad.
They are likely to pay a lot of court fees and lawyers fees.
The problem, of course, is that there are leftist judges that do not care for the rule of law, either.
Some of them are on the Supreme Court.

Just like a car manufacturer is ‘complicit’ when a drunk driver kills.

These two should be sued instead, as they are far more complicit than the firearms manufacturer and dealer.

In addition to the Florida statute, this suit also falls afoul of 15 U.S.C. §§ 7901-7903 (Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act).

Fine - then I can sue the parkland victims for infringing my rights to gun ownership.
