I hope Bushmaster sues them back.

Are there any lawyers (nothing deragotory meant by that term, in this instance anyway...) on FR who can tell us if this is possible? We need a suit that will slam the Brady bunch BIG TIME. And to think the poor mom and pop gun shop is being sued too. Probably put them out of business with the first week of legal bills for their defence.

And to think the poor mom and pop gun shop is being sued too.

Mom and Pop gots some 'splainin' to do, from what I've heard. 230 guns unaccounted for, but last known to be in their possesion, weapons "thefts" unreported.

If you're interested, there actually have been several attempts to "counter sue" the folks bringing these cases against gun companies. To fight fire with fire, so to speak. They've all failed so far.

The Second Amendment Foundation filed one of them, in Washington DC, against all the mayors that sued the manufacturers. It got thrown out of court.

A local gun owners group down in Texas filed another case, saying these lawsuits violate the civil rights of gun owners and dealers, because they're just trying to jack up gun prices. It never went anywhere and they dropped the case - the group said it ran out of money to keep the case going.

And some manufacturers and the National Shooting Sports Foundation tried bringing a case too, down in Atlanta. They gave it up too.

Not a great track record.
