Question is, can gun store owners be held responsible for handgun violence where the weapon in question is stolen or illegally purchased (not through a legitimate dealership). This stinks of shit to me.

In other news the National Association of Stupid People seeks to sue gun manufacturers because of a disporportionate number of accidental deaths as well.

Technically they shouldn't be held responsible, but nowadays everyone plays the blame game to avoid liability stuff.

BTW, what does NAACP stand for?

Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

I hadn't heard of it until I read that article.

Colored?

Bit behind on the terms methinks.

this is so stunningly brilliant it makes my eyes water! I guaran-fucking-tee that a lawsuit will be filed on behalf of the African Americans to reaffirm their 2nd ammendment rights under the clause of equal protection under law....thus totally fucking up the other law suit! :twisted: [evil plan laugh] bwo-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! [/evil plan laugh]
