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?
SCOTUS didn’t vote, they denied cert.
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.
this is just the ability to be able to sue...sure, sue all you want...any verdict will be tossed..if not, all hell will break loose..hammer makers..knife makers...car makers etc...
I could file a lawsuit against the cigarette companies for all of the butts that people throw in my yard.
McDonalds made me fat. Give me money!!!
There was no vote, the Supreme Court simply refused to hear the case.
So... Somebody Steals a car. Gets drunk. And then hits and kills a person in the cross walk.
Ford is at fault?
If no vote, then how does the Supreme Court work that?
Just one Justices? Two? Seven? What?
Hmmm, maybe someday I can sue Stanley the next time I smash my thumb with a hammer. /s

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!
Which means both Kavanaugh and Roberts sided with the communists.
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.
Next comes cars.
What on earth does the advertising have to do with it when the kid stole the gun from his mom?
Lovely.
