Mike Bloomberg Gun Control Group Files Lawsuit on Behalf of Mass Shooting Witnesses

Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety filed a lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of 16 people who witnessed the May 14, 2022, shooting in which an attacker took the lives of ten people in a Buffalo, New York, grocery store.

Breitbart News reported that the gun used in the attack at Tops Friendly Markets was purchased legally. ABC 7 indicated the attacker used a rifle that was purchased at a store in Broome County, New York.

NBC News noted that the lawsuit alleges the 16 witnesses — some of whom were Tops employees, others of whom were customers — “survived the racist attack but had to endure moments of terror that left lasting effects, such as nightmares, trouble sleeping, anxiety and paranoia.”

Some of the witnesses who worked at Tops claim they have been psychologically unable to return to the store.

I witnessed a squirrel being run over by a GMC truck so I’m gonna sue for the PTSD I suffer now.

I once shot a Carolina Wren with my Daisy Red Ryder. Dead bird lay at my feet. Since then I have not been able to eat chicken, look at anything red, touch a trigger like on my Windex bottle, look at the latest Audubon magazine, work on my Firebird, ……..I could go on.

To paraphrase :The British: Give us your Guns, people are dying in mass shootings . The Colonists: Bleep off.

I saw a man rob a store at gunpoint. Can I sue:
Gun mfr
The dealer that sold him his car to drive to the store
The robber had Nike shoes. I want to sue Nike.
MUZAK was being played over the stores intercom, I want to sue MUZAK
Any company that makes blue Jean jackets. Cause this is what he was wearing

[maddog55]

Note to self, no witnesses.

He’s may be super rich, but he’s still the little midget that no one liked in high school.
But the bright side is he will NEVER get elected to anything ever again.

[smokingfrog]

The shooter alone is responsible for his actions.

“I once shot a Carolina Wren with my Daisy Red Ryder.”

Well, at least you didn’t put your eye out.

[Boogieman]

“Any company that makes blue Jean jackets.”

Well, them at least you can sue. I don’t think you even need a reason. Pretty sure that is established precedent.

I had a working companion fifty three years ago who was mentally upset when his heroes in EASY RIDER (no spoiler from me). Now he is thinking of suing someone for his PTSD at that time.

😁👍

Breitbart refuses to explain what or who they’re suing.

Typical.

[Ransomed]

I was curious too. They are suing social media platforms (because they supposedly radicalized him), the body armor company because the security guard shot him and the armor worked, and the gun store where he bought the rifle.

Blame everything and everyone except the perp. And they didn’t name the politicians who throw up roadblocks to prevent good people from arming themselves.

[MileHi]

All the defendants need to be awarded attorney fees and the attorneys who filed this heavily sanctioned.

[Ransomed]

Modern civil law is a huge reason why there are so many problems with our culture now. I can’t see it changing anytime soon, unfortunately.
