Crap lawsuit by ambulance chasers.
“vicariously liable”? WTF?
I don’t see where they have authority to sue.
If Californians can’t sue because the government wouldn’t defend prop 8 because they (somehow) weren’t directly involved the how is the Brady political campaign allowed to sue?
Black powder Guns are not regulated under any national firearms law except to say that they’re not regulated. Some state laws may regulate
You want to change the law, Brady @$$wipes? Go ahead and try. There are procedures to do that.

An assault pistol of the day.
Also - why isn’t Brady suing the city government of Chicago for not protecting its citizens by cracking down on crime leading to gun deaths?
Y’know wanting to stop tragedies and all...

It was a legal sale. There is no basis for any tort.

I apply the “hammer test” to these cases. Substitute the word hammer for any reference to a firearm. If you do that to this case, you will see that:
It was a legal sale
The murder was carried out without the store’s knowledge
There is no background check required for “hammers”
There is no means by which the store would have known that the firearm would be used in a crime.
The store has no duty to do a criminal background check unless required by law, which does not seem to be the case here. You have to able to establish a “duty” and “breach of that duty” to make a negligence action. Under the theory being asserted here any store that sold a knife to a felon could be sued if he later hurt someone with it.
I love my Walker Colt .44. It belches smoke and lead like no other.
Vexatious Litigation:
Vexatious litigation is legal action which is brought, regardless of its merits, solely to harass or subdue an adversary. It may take the form of a primary frivolous lawsuit or may be the repetitive, burdensome, and unwarranted filing of meritless motions in a matter which is otherwise a meritorious cause of action.
“”The Brady Campaign””
Apparently some slick/shyster lawyers are involved with the Brady people and are using that platform to go after legitimate businesses.
This is new to me and I assume to others here. What Cuomo is attempting to do in NY State to the NRA will no doubt expand to legitimate retail businesses now. They found a hole and they’ll go for it! Cabela’s and Bass Pro better make sure all their “t’s” are crossed and “i’s” dotted. Will save a bunch of legal trouble and fees later on. No one in their right mind wants to be caught up in the legal system for any reason!
OK, then we sue Exxon and Shell for the gasoline that powered the car that hit you and sent you to the hospital. Logical.
Cabela’s should sue West Academic Publishing for its vicarious liability arising from The Brady Campaign’s misuse of its law books. After all, if West wouldn’t publish them, shyster lawyers couldn’t use them for good or ill.
This is the first black powder murder I’ve heard about in modern times.
REPLICA!
We're done here.
PER the Firearms Act of 1934, as amended in 1968 and after, a muzzleloading rifle IS NOT A FIREARM. Period. End of story. Get over it, gerbalists in Noo Yawk.
He should use that argument to get illegal aliens out of our country and oppose sanctuary cities.
These people disgust me. There is zero justification for this lawsuit, and those who filed it and those who are in any way assisting in this act are evil.
