Guns don't kill people; bullets moving really fast kill people.

Lack of oxygen to or disruption of the brain is what kills people. This is caused by damage inflicted by kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is delivered by a bullet in the case of a shooting but can be delivered by most anything and be supplied by anything from a propllent charge to a generator to a persons fists.

So basically, they should just sue humanity for being in such poorly made bodies. :D

First off, let me get my troll out. You guys are fucking hillarious. Who to sue next?

Second of all, it's fucked up how many ways you can actually fucking sue. This is horse shit to the nth fucking degree. They should sue themselves, for allowing him to get in the way of the bullet. Am I right?

They at this point do not have any money, so why would you want to sue them, now their lawyers on the other hand have money so lets sue them for wasting the time of the courts.

I really hope that with this administration and Congress, that the people who be will start some sort of TORT reform and help stem some of this bull shit.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Correct. They should sue themselves for evolving to there current standard and there long dead ancestors for not evolving into a more rugged form.

Hell, why not sue God? He could have prevented this, or at least that's wht Creationists make him out to be.

I already suggested that at the top of this page. God should be used through his proxy, the Catholic Church. They can either pay up or renounce his existence. If the Pope can speak for god then he can pay for him as well.

If you can sue gun distributors for damages, you can sue car companies, too. Regardless, the gun shop owner is not responsible for the use of a weapon which he legally sold.
