Brady Campaign Sues Armslist.com Over Non-Existent and Non-Existent Loophole

Seems that a guy who killed a woman bought his gun through armslist.com illegally. And the Brady Campaign to Cling To Relevancy thinks that’s armslist.com’s fault.

    So…..An illegal sale, seller was prosecuted and convicted. If there is any civil liability, I’d think it is also with the seller. I can’t see where Armlist can be sued. And IIRC, the only thing bought on the net in the VT shooting were magazines, which aren’t regulated federally.

  2. Mu Says:

    Actually, under shared liability rules that could get really pricey for armslist. In many states, if you’re found even as a minor contributor, you’re jointly liable for the damage. So if the shooter gets 95% liability but is broke and serving life without parole, even 5% can make you liable for the whole thing. Same reason why people add Walmart to product liability lawsuits, the maker might not have money, the retailer does.
    And 5% liability could be construed simply from allowing out-of-state buyers to view the list, depending on the jury.

    This case will be tossed.. Unless you want to start suing GM,Ford and Chrysler because Drunk Drivers kill people in their vehicles!

  4. SPQR Says:

    Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act would be what I think will decide this case for Armslist.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
