You're viewing a single thread.
This lawsuite is ridiculous. You should hold the shooter liable for there actions. Not reddit, the gun shop or anyone else.
You can however, blame the policies that helped turn the shooter into what he is.
Like an actual common sense gun law that doesn't sell guns to mentally ill people.
If the gun shop knew he was I'll they wouldn't of sold him the gun
Is that how you tell if someone is mentally ill? Just sell them a gun and see if they take it?
Oh, god, please, yes!!! Turn all gun shops into honey pots—folks can really run with this idea.
Yeah, we need to implement some kind of system that stores mentally ill people! And then make gun shops call them before every sale!
You don't that's why its silly they are liable
Is that how you can tell if someone is mentally ill? You just sell them a gun and see if they take it?
Incitement is worse than the actual crime imho. If there are people on reddit who are pushing others to commit murders, then they should be penalised for it. If you tell someone to commit suicide it is a crime even in the US. Ordering them to kill someone else carries the same weight.
How's that been working out?
Not well with silly lawsuites like these.
