The problem here isn't just limited to the firearms industry either, we can read the paper nearly every day (I make a point of surfing CNN.com to get my daily laughs) to find cases such as these that should have never come to field in court. People spilling coffee on themselves, people driving motorhomes deciding to make coffee in the back because the cruise control's on, people failing to follow the rules of whatever piece of equipment they're using... Now, you've also likely seen all the warning labels on devices sold today, some of them are incredibly stupid sounding but you have to wonder "Did someone really do this?" Yep, they either did, or the company had the forethought to put that on there before some idiot sues them without it. A great deal of firearms manufacturers are puting the phrase "Read manual before operating" on their products to stem the tide of this, now they need to start in the opposite direction and not settle out of court, but instead make a point of the case and slam it into the ground.

Crap like this should never collect a dime.

Their part of the settlement could have either gone to lawyers to fight the suit, or it could have gone to the families (it was the remaining amount covered by their insurance policy). Either way it would cost them the same, and they did not admit any wrong doing. Of course Brady is claiming a victory in this one. Still, it would have been better had congress passed the idiot lawsuit imunity bill to protect Bushmaster. I think you can find their statement <a href="http://www.triggerfinger.org/weblog/entry/5816">here</a>. Of course the media will side with Brady and treat this as a big victory for gun control.
