Then I should be able to file a suit against Starbucks and McDonalds and anyone else who allows their cups to be thrown in my yard.

Article is damned useless. Doesn’t say who voted for or against. But we still know, don’t we?

Tort reform seems to have fallen of the list of things-to-do since we have a congress whose soul mission is to derail a presidency. We need a loser pays tort law.

Any lawyers want to educate us on the legal aspects of this? Anyone can sue anyone so, on the one hand, why should any one industry be protected. On the other hand, frivolous lawsuits destroy businesses. Businesses engaged in legal activity, including manufacture and sales of firearms, should not be responsible for the misuse of their products. Actions such as this are targeted, not for negligence by the legal business, but for politically motivated reasons.

A firearm is made to shoot bullets. That’s its purpose.

How can I sue for the PROPER working of a firearm, just because it had a deady outcome?

It is horrible and sad that a person used a firearm to put bullets through other people, but this CANNOT be the fault of the firearm makers. It’s SUPPOSED to do this.

Next we’ll have terrorists sue General Dynamics for making drones that carry (and release) Maverick missiles!

This is not good. The makers of products are not responsible for other people’s mental health.

It takes four to grant cert.
That means Kavanaugh and Roberts sided with the communists.
