So desperate for money, Newtown families have resorted to suing the gun manufacturers for the loss of their loved ones killed by Adam Lanza.
Are they not suing the school district?

God I wish we would move to a "loser pays" system. Unfortunately, our country is run by lawyers so that will never happen.

I'm just going to summarize the credibility of the op by mentioning that he cant even remember how many years ago the Newton incident ended, let alone provide a reasonable link to the story, or realize that If most people had their 5YEAR OLD CHILDREN murdered, they would probably be doing similar kinds of things.

More like desperate for justice and accountability for the slaughter of their children.

From people who had nothing to do with it? Kind of like suing Jack Daniels after someone gets killed by a drunk driver.

When will somebody sue GM and Jim Beam for the drunk driver that killed their loved one?
It is, after all, the same thing!

Oops, sorry 'bout that, didn't see the previous post.

How about they sue the school district for not providing adequate security?

So when someone dies from a car accident we can sue the car maker , and if the driver is drunk the alcohol brand.If someone dies from a stabbing we can sue the brand of the knife? Etc . Interesting.

It is unfortunate with what happened but nobody can control or predict ones mind/thoughts.

Either way, While the incident does show some need for gun control as a whole, I must agree with the conservatives here that maybe suing specific manufacturers is a little too far (even though I don't really blame the parents for wanting to).

Only accountable people are themselves for placing their children into an unsecured public endoctrination facility.

Life is a gamble and sometimes lady luck is an evil deadly *****.
