Bye Remington. Now we see the end game to the DNC school shooter program.

It looks like all SCOTUS did was decline to hear the case, without deciding anything. I reckon they figure the issue ain’t ripe enough to justify SCOTUS jumping in.

So they are using the marketing exception...saying it was aimed at young troubled males..... even though the rifle was owned by his mother.

I’m gonna sue Oneida silverware we got for our wedding in 1997. I’ve gained 35 pounds since I’ve been married. Lol

Very dangerous to our interests.

I disagree. I think they decided that the marketing exception had merit, otherwise they went against existing law. But even if the marketing exception had merit, how is it applicable to this case?

May as well go after the big violent video games next...they got deep pockets...

Shouldn't the Federal Government also be on the hook for approving the sale of the firearms used in the shooting, even if they were sold to his mother?
