It’s About Damn Time (Lawsuit Abuse)

So about suing gun stores.…
A federal judge ordered the parents of a Aurora, Colorado, theater shooting victim to pay court costs and attorney fees as a result of a lawsuit filed last year, and the defendants in the case say the family owes around a quarter of a million dollars.
According to court documents filed April 10, in a combined sum, Lucky Gunner and Sportsman Guide paid roughly $224,600 to fight allegations that they failed to properly vet the gunman who used their products to kill 12 people and injure 70 others during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises in July 2012.
The Brady Campaign appears to have goaded the family into the suit, despite the fact that there’s a law, the Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, that bars such suits provided the seller does not have actual knowledge or involvement in some form with whatever unlawful act the third party engages in.
