We have been getting a lot of questions about our lawsuit against Lucky Gunner, the online company that sold ammunition to the man who murdered our daughter Jessica along with 11 others in an Aurora, Colorado, theater. Especially after the Rachel Maddow Show covered us twice, people ask us about the judge's order that we pay Lucky Gunner's attorneys' fees, since our lawsuit was unsuccessful.
We brought our lawsuit because we thought it was outrageous that companies could sell a dangerous man an arsenal without getting any information about him, and without making any effort to see if he was a dangerous killer -- which he was. When the killer had left a voicemail with a shooting range, the range operator knew that he was bad news and shouldn't be given access to guns. But these companies set up their business so people just like this killer can arm themselves at the click of a mouse. We wanted to change that. And we still do.

Perhaps they should sue Maddow?
I think it’s outrageous you allowed your daughter to go to the theater without checking to see if there were any mass murdering lunatics there......
This is good and right, but would be better if the lawyers and the Brady bunch, who used the families for their own interests, would pay this.
“Loser pays”. Isn’t this what we want?
And they sound like the very definition of losers.
“Especially after the Rachel Maddow Show covered us twice”
Sue Rachel Madcow!
Darn right they have. They would not have brought the case if it were not being done pro-bono by Jim Brady Foundation lawyers. These lawyers used them as guinea pigs to establish precedent for suing ammunition sellers.
Stupid is supposed to hurt.

They should be suing the move theater for being a gun free zone.
Too bad, the ammo dealer is not responsible. Looks to me you just wanted money.
They had to have known that they would lose and their attorney surely told them about the attorneys' costs they would be liable for, theirs and Lucky Gunner's. They probably expect to recoup it all and make a profit through GoFundMe.
I’m sorry about your daughter. But I’m sure she’s glad to be away from you Two idiots.
Maybe they could have sued the movie theater for not having sensors on the exterior exits to alert management that one of them was open to the outside. Makes as much sense.
What I don’t understand is how it got to trial in the first place. This is a case that should have been thrown at the summary judgment stage. It would have saved these poor, deluded people some money.
You chose to take a shot at the ammo dealer and missed, badly. That too has consequences, as you're finding out.
Maybe next time you'll take out your aggressions on a blameworthy party and not the party that others, for their own selfish reasons and misguided motives, tell or convince you is the blameworthy party.
Headline should read: "Gunman Must Pay For Bad His Decision, But Why Should We Have To Pay For Ours?" Answer's pretty obvious, pal
I’m only speaking for myself, I don’t care about the comments on the article.
I would never mock someone who lost their child. I can’t imagine the grief. It’s sad that during a vulnerable time in their life they were conned by these ambulance chasers. Their lawyers should have to pay up.
The daughter’s last name appears to be Arab. Ironic that she was killed by a terrorist.
