Families if the new town shooting are suing Bushmaster.

Protection of arms commerce act 2005. They can't win shit.

Another article I read said that Connecticut has a state law that might allow this because they are arguing that Bushmaster misrepresented the rifles by not rightfully explaining how dangerous they are. That's their angle.

Can't work. If it does that's absolute shit. Case in point. A rapist breaks into your house attempting to rape your girlfriend, she pulls out your scary black gun and kills the motherfucker. Then said motherfuckers family sues bushmaster for the rapist death. Yeah, I don't think so.

True but still there is no way they could misrepresent how dangerous they are. A hammer will kill shit dead, a car will kill shit dead, shit a fuckin stick will kill shit dead. Does any of that have warning labels? Can I sue estwing if somebody killed my brother with a hammer? Fuck no, Id get laughed out of court.

The US legal system is a fucking joke sometimes. Bushmaster will probably settle out of court on this one though. Wish theyd fight it just to see how itd turn out.

I agree man but bushmaster is a joke compared to other firearms manufacturers.

Got the day of tomorrow, that means I'll be heading out to get a little hunting in, cold front moving through so hopefully I'll see some birds.

Regardless of bushmaster's standings what happens when the come after FN, Wilson Combat, or Berretta? Still no big deal?

Who said it wasn't a big deal? I was saying Bushmaster is a joke and will roll over. Other companies like Barrett Arms and Magpul Industries have proven they will not be rolled over like this.

Bushmaster learned it's lesson in 2003 when it settled out of court. With the new legislature they'd be stupid to do that again.

A settlement outside of court sets no precedent legally speaking. It may encourage victims and their families to follow suit, but eventually they will try it on a company that will stand up and once that happens it will end.

Their settlement just postpones the inevitable. That is if they settle.

Isn't it common in law suits to site past settlements as kind of "giving in". I'm probably wrong though.

I'm pretty sure common law precedent is only for cases decided over by a judge and taken to trial.

Correct, settlemenst are outside the courts and have no precident on future trials.

Unfortunately, that New Town family is going to get paid for the B.S. lawsuit.

Kinda like that woman didn't know that coffee from McDonalds is hot.

This thread has been getting awfully political lately.

We're on the same page, look up a few post.

It's fun to BS about politics.

In other news my power went off last night and I over slept my alarm to go hunting. Lame.

I swear my street looses power for some reason or another at least once a month.

You may want to read up on that hot coffee case... If I am not mistaken the lady got third degree burns and the coffee was thought to be nearly 300*F. She had a real case and should have won.

Wasn't the fact that she claimed she didn't know the coffee was hot that made the case famous? Not that she was burned

I believe that was made up. What she really claimed was that she didn't expect it to be that hot.

Ahhhh how did she even have a case? There is no standard for coffee temps is there?

A reasonable expectation that she would not receive third degree burns inside her mouth when she took a sip would be a good place to start with a standard and i would argue a legitimate claim.

Even if McDonald's didn't have a guarantee that it wouldn't burn you, the end used has a reasonable expectation to not receive bodily harm when properly using a purchased item.

The machine was putting out coffee hotter than mcdonalds intended to. If she claimed she didn't know it was going to be that hot they do that to support their case under the tort of negligence. The money she got basically just covered the reconstructive surgeries to put her hoohah back together.

I read that McDonald's made the coffee hotter so their customers could have their coffee last longer hotter. Or at least that's what they claimed.

[Flightstopper]

Yeah that and I think they had some knob they turned up or it was stuck on high and they didn't fix it. Something along those lines

[Bad17]

Olly yes there is a standard on how hot coffee has to be to be served in a restaurant.

[Bad17]

Also I am pretty confident bushmaster will not roll over mainly because of the importance of this whole case on the precedent it will set. They will not be alone the NRA, Colt, Remington, anyone who makes guns will have a plea with them and push them and assist them with legal matters. There will be sooooooo many attorneys involved with this and the paper work I don't know if the families will have the money or if the firm will have the money to take in this.

Who sets that? Where do I find that in writing? Federal or state level?

So many questions...

[Flightstopper]

FDA?

[Bad17]

I would guess states but you would have to look it up. I'm not going to. It might be each restaurant sets it too. I have a guy here who has a restaurant on the side. He is trying to find it. He says there's a max temp
