Glock wins summary judgment in lawsuit

[wcd]

I guess I’m missing something here…. What does the colors signify? I only read the kings English

Yes apologies, Long standing, at least for as long as I can remember PURPLE has been used to indicate sarcasm.

Purple text denotes sarcasm.

Gotcha

Wow i think the real story here is that a 14yo didn’t know better than to point a gun at a person and pull the trigger?

This...and the bus driver who left his Glock pistol lying around in the open, unsecured!
This is a 'human' problem...not an 'object' problem!
I've always thought it interesting that people complain about a Glock not having an 'external' safety, etc., such as, say, a Beretta 92 pistol...yet no one complains about a revolver needing an 'external' safety...

Purple text denotes sarcasm.

Unless left out on purpose when it should be obvious such as "Did you know that Todd Young was a Marine?"

Weapon of war….. at one time wars were fought with sticks and stones…. I can hardly tolerate such blatant ignorance anymore!!! The church bus guy did not properly safeguard his weapon from children. His fault…. Not the manufacturers. That would be like during chevrolet because a drunk driver killed someone while driving their vehicle…. Absurd!!!!

Cue in the opening Dawn of Man scene from Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

And this further illustrates my belief that firearms safety should be a mandatory part of public education. My opinion would be far more beneficial then some other required courses.

But that would indoctrinate all our children to the message that guns are safe, dangerous but safe, if properly handled and maintained and that would violate the lefts’ gospel. So it won’t happen.

Harder to oppress people when you train them not to be scared of the boogeyman (guns) that the left has created.

This is like suing an auto manufacturer for a drunk driving accident because the vehicle didn’t have a breathalyzer lockout.

If we Idiot-proof everything, then nothing will be useful.

I agree with you, however our esteemed electorate is discussing a new auto requirement that all new cars have a "blow to go" feature to prevent drink driving!

They probably were, and maybe the church too.

However, this particular case was about the lawsuit against Glock, their distributor, and whatever gun shop sold the Glock plus anybody else who was associated with its manufacture, sale, etc.

Wrong. Totally and completely wrong.

This lawsuit was chasing the MONEY. Glock has MONEY. The not-so-ulterior motive behind it is not compensation, however. It is to make the manufacture, distribution, and sale of guns (of all kinds) too expensive to pursue. If it were purely about punishing the wrong-doers, the shooter's parents and the gun owner would have been the defendants.

Typical American justice. Don't sue the responsible party; sue the party with the most money. I am happy it failed. This is happening more and more lately.

Understood but our families belief holds that Education not indoctrination is valuable on many fronts.

like many around here we have instructed our son about gun safety from a very early age. BRAGGING MOMENT HERE, did I mention our son Smoked his Qualification while some struggled with even the remote concept of sight alignment.

Unfortunately not a new practice, deep pockets get the attention most evert time.

I kind of think there may be something to this one?
Toss out the retro fitting to existing vehicles, and require them to purchase a brand new one with the device built in! Or sorry driving is a privilege so you can’t afford one sorry you don’t drive.

Unlikely to happen because we are too busy catering to convicted criminals to let real solutions get in the way when it comes to many crimes.

The requirement is proposed for ALL new light vehicles. So even if you never drink, you would have to pass a breath test every time you start the car. Feels like unreasonable search every time the car is started.

Understood, clearly a violation, except in the case of retaining a privilege. Such as in the case of a convicted drunk driver.

Well, half the story, at least. The other half is: why was a firearm left unattended/unsecured in a church van?

Reported!

(See what I did there?)

All we have to do is look at the Plandemic to see how true this is.

 

[1nderbeard]

You can't fix stupidity, but it can and is litigated in court.

Guy who left the gun out should be banned from carrying.

^^^This, and why did the youth leader leave a firearm unsecured in the van with youths in it?
