More Gun Lawsuits
This time, Wal-Mart has settled to the tune of $14.5M. Rich Smith connects the dots:
See the connection? In the Bushmaster case, the retailer permitted criminals to gain possession of its guns, and it paid for its mistake. Yesterday, Wal-Mart admitted that it allowed people to take possession of firearms without knowing whether the buyers were criminals.
The dots are plotted. All that’s needed now is to find an instance in which a gun sold by Wal-Mart between 2000 and 2003 was, or eventually is, used in a crime. At that point, I’d expect the trial lawyers to start connecting the dots.
