Last
month a senior district court judge named Richard Matsch threw out a
law suit by Sandy and Lonnie Phillips against Lucky Gunner and other
firearms retailers wherein the Phillips, with dollar signs in their
eyes, asserted that the retailers were responsible for James Holmes
murdering a bunch of innocents in the "Gun Free Zone" theater in Aurora
Colorado. The judge judiciously awarded the defendants attorney's
fees and other court related costs to be paid for by the Phillips.
The judge wisely asserted:
"Neither
the web nor the face-to-face sales of ammunition and other products
to Holmes can plausibly constitute a substantial factor causing the
deaths and injuries in this theater shooting."
To have
done otherwise would have opened a whole legal can of worms. For
instance, the parents of a child killed by a drunk driver would have
legal precedent for asserting that the car dealer who sold the car to
the drunk driver was responsible for the death of their child. The
parents of a child killed by a murderer wielding a kitchen knife
purchased at Costco could assert that Costco was to blame for
the death of their child.
It would
have made more sense if the greedy Sandy and Lonnie Phillips sued the
theater owner, the Brady Campaign and other puppets of the powerful
and murderous Criminal, Terrorist & Tyrant Empowerment Lobby
(CTTEL). After all, the driving philosophy behind the murderous CTTEL is THE
DEADLY LIE: "Oh, you don't need to carry a gun for self-defense;
the police will protect you." The CTTEL promotes this lie and
the theater owner enforced it with their posted policy of not
allowing any defensive guns in the theater, only those of mass
murderers and other evil doers.
