One of the families of the people who were murdered in the Colorado theater shooting filed a law suit against an online gun and ammo retailer and now are being required to pay that same retailer over $200,000!!!!!!!!! There is a law that protects the gun industry from being sued for ANY reason. Full Story
This guy bought over 4,000 rounds of ammunition; The Sportsman’s Guide, which sold him a 100-round magazine and 700 rounds; BTP Arms, which supplied two canisters of tear gas; and Bullet Proof Body Armor. He could have been a 10 year old, they would never know because they didn't even ask. Some of the stuff he bought was military-grade weaponry.
I am a gun owner and proudly so. But I bought every gun I own legally and from a licensed gun dealer. My ID was shown and my information entered and I had to wait the period required by law. I was fine with all of that. I have a concealed carry permit for which I had to take classes to get. I go to the range and practice a few times a month. If I were to be required to go and register all of my guns I would do so happily because I have zero reason to worry as I use them for protection. I'm not an idiot who needs to kill animals to feel like I'm worth something so no hunting here.
So why is it that the NRA sees what this guy did to kill 12 and injure 70 and how easily he was able to just go online and buy all of this stuff legally? How can a decent person think that this is acceptable? We are the only country in the world with the lack of gun laws that we have and we are also the only country in the world with school shootings and mass murders in public places that aren't acts of war like in Israel and Palestine. If we're the only one that has a Sandy Hook murder or a Colorado murder or any of the others how do good people still standing in the way of something being done to limit the access and amend the laws that will keep shit like this from continuing to happen?
