I haven't seen a "Support Bushmaster" thread on this forum for quite some time.
Lest we forget, in 1995 mega-corporation Dow-Corning filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. This was the direct result of huge sums having been awarded to individuals who claimed injuries and suffering, the result of silicone breast implants, by juries who were fed a great deal of emotion accompanied by a paucity of good scientific data.
Bushmaster is small potatoes compared to Dow-Corning. If a well-picked jury decides to lower the boom on Bushmaster, it is entirely possible the company will not be able to recover from the financial loss.
We don't even need to go into the disasterous legal precedent such a decision would create...
I would hope that those who express such admiration for a company, based to no small extent on their customer service, return the favor by actively supporting their legal position by writing to the appropriate legislators.
