Brady Campaign Case Targeting Online Ammo Dismissed By Judge

[Cameramonkey]

What I want to know is what legal genius didnt see that coming? How do you file suit knowing that a law will get your case thrown out immediately... AND cost your plaintiff big bucks?

I can see the conversation outside the courtroom... "What do you MEAN you didnt know this would happen?"

It's a pre-fabricated outrage. Now there will be pressure to repeal the law. If it saves one child...

Or the theater, for having a "gun free" policy?

The theater chain, Cinemark, is being sued, but not for the "gun free" policy. The suit alleges they should have had more "security," e.g. off-duty cops or security company people.

I haven't seen a more recent article on it tho.

Dave Hardy at Of Arms and the Law says the $280K judgment is about 5% of the Brady Mob's assets, or 10% of their budget. If the Brady Mob had any ethics at all (ha!) and/or the family had any smarts, they would have agreed in advance that Brady would pick up the tab for adverse outcomes, but they may not have anticipated an order like this. Hardy points out that the PLCAA doesn't provide for loser-pays, and the commenters are coming up with Colorado-specific laws that provide for such an order. I wonder if the Brady lawyers realized that could happen.

Interesting. No Lawyers - Only Guns and Money points out a discovery by one of his readers that the parents who sued Lucky Gunner et al are employees of the Brady mob.

ETA: The husband lists one of his duties as "Led the department in adding names of gun owners to the database."

Judge berates Brady group in Lucky Gunner settlement

“Those who ignite a fire should be responsible for the cost of suppressing it before it becomes a conflagration,” wrote Senior District Judge Richard P. Matsch about the Brady Campaign when he awarded $203,000 on June 17 to the retailers the organization sued. He was critical of the group for using the court to publicize its political agenda at the expense of a handful of retailers.

Brady vs. Lucky Gunner

While it is not yet clear when the $111,971.10 fee reimbursement will be paid, we [Lucky Gunner] are going to donate 100% of what is recovered to groups that support and defend the 2nd Amendment. We will fight to recover these funds from the Brady Center and to hold the Brady Center responsible for yet another frivolous lawsuit.Please tell us where you want the recovered fees to go by voting in the form...

That is a lot of choices. I went for the SAF. Looks like Virginia has an effort going to get the funds

I recommend voting for the New York State Pistol and Rifle Assoc. They are putting up a good fight against the evil comrade Coumo.

Well, they were suing with the intention of making someone else bankrupt. Seems only fair they should suffer the same fate.

At a status conference this past Monday, I met one of the lawyers for Lucky Gunner in this case (firearms cases is what he does). We didn't have a chance to discuss this case, but next time I see him, I'll see how the efforts to collect are going.

BTW- I hear tell that the Brady Campaign has plenty of money, so that's who their whining should be directed to.

If this keeps up maybe these people will stop harassing legitimate businesses and law abiding citizens. They need to spend their money lobbying to fix their namesake failure of a background check system.

I suspect the guy at No Lawyers is right in his suspicions -- the Phillips's are employees of the Brady mob, so they are using the bankruptcy plea right now for publicity while the judgment is appealed, and if the crunch ever comes, Brady will fork over the dollars.

Brady goads the grieving family into a suit and then hangs them out to dry. I'm certain the Brady Bunch is setting up the boo hoo appearances, too.

And the "boo hoo appearances" begin.

Some good comments in the comments section though.
