The parents unsuccessfully sued the retailers who made the firearm that
killed their daughter. Colorado state law requires that plaintiffs who
sue the manufacturers of gun products pay the companies' legal fees if
they lose.



"The mother and father of the victim who died in the Aurora mass
shooting have just been ordered to pay a quarter-million dollars to the
gun makers who sold the bullets that were used in the Aurora mass
shooting -- the parents of the girl who was killed.”

Big dupe potential on this, but I searched for "Aurora" and "lawsuit" and got nothing about it.



It's a Huffpo link about a Rachael Lesbo show, but I couldn't find anything else.

I feel sorry for them for losing their daughter but I an against them using the situation to try and deny others the right to defend themselves and to let themselves be used by some shyster lawyer.

I do feel bad for them.  But that is exactly how lawsuits should work.  Frivolous lawsuits would cease to exist.

As long as the gun manufacturer or ammo retailer was acting in accordance with the law, they should be untouchable in court.

I wonder how much money their lawyer promised them after he told them he had this one "in the bag".  

I do feel really bad for those parents.  The gun company (if they can swing it financially) might consider waving the payment.  It would be good publicity on their part.

Would the parents have waived the judgment if it had been millions in their favor?  There was ONE person responsible.   He is in a trial now.

I'm sorry as hell about them losing their child but this culture of "sue the shoe company because my kid can't tie laces!" Has got to stop somewhere.  This happens to be an especially good place for it.

I wonder when they sue their attorney for saying "oh yeah we totally got this!"

If the Attorney took this case on Contingency (either hoping to win or hoping for a 'go away' settlement)...or an outside organization (Brady) funded the attorney, then the Court should treat that Attorney like a 'Co-Plaintiff' and make them responsible for a portion of the reimbursement.

Nope. But thin again I'm not a grief stricken liberal parent of a gunned down child.

No man would laugh at that. They did what they thought was the right thing and it failed. Let it be.

I can honestly say the way my mind works, the LAST thing i would do is blame a tool, implement or inanimate object used. Sole responsibility lays with the individual that did the deed. If he is a repeat offender, then the people responsible for him getting out as well.

I'm hoping that the Brady bunch *don't* pay it and leave the family hanging.

I'm very sympathetic to the family for their loss.  That is horrible way to lose a child.

But competent legal counsel would have (and probably did) tell them that their case had no merit.

If they went with it on the advice of Brady lawyers (who were definitely involved) and then are left out to dry, it'll discredit the Brady organization.

TL;DR, Brady used these parents as pawns and if it backfires, maybe people won't be so inclined to be used as pawns.   And I'm very sorry that their kid was murdered.

Nice dream but...

As  I read when this came down, as soon as the suit was settled in favor of the firearms/ammo retailers the Brady bunch beat a hasty retreat and left the parents high and dry.

Two evils:

1.  the shooter

2.  The Leftist schemers who tried to take advantage of the parents' grief for political purposes.

Not saying they're equivalent.  Just saying they are both evil.


Sadness for the parents; not exactly sympathy, but sadness.

Fuck that. They signed up for what they thought was going to be a slam-dunk payday on the backs of hardworking Americans in the gun industry, by using their dead kids to invoke 'da feels' of the populace.

Everyone saw right through it. Why the fuck should the manufacturers have to foot the bill?

Um. . . . . . did someone say the mfg should have to pay?  I didn't see that.  Maybe your reading comprehension is somehow superior.

Seems clear to me that the LEFTISTS who persuaded them to sue are the ones who should pay.  Unless, of course, they came up with this on their own.  Possible, but it seems unlikely.
