You cannot legislate the end of evil…
It was one of those little stories that most people miss, even more so when it is released during a heated presidential election. But it is one that is critically important because it represents an unprecedented power grab by the one profession that has arguably done more damage to America than any other. If Americans don’t demand an end to this nonsense, we have no one to blame but ourselves. The details of the story are both simple and infuriating: a New York appeals court in has ruled that a former high school athlete shot in 2003 can sue—the companies that made and distributed the handgun used to shoot him.
Danny Williams, now 25, was promising high school basketball player who was shot in the stomach while playing hoops in front of his house. As a victim, he deserves nothing but sympathy. Cornell Caldwell, who shot him in a case of mistaken identity, is currently in prison, and deserves to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But the distributor and manufacturer of the gun involved?
The continued pursuit of this case rests on the idea that gun manufacturer, Beemiller, “knew” it was making guns tied to urban street crime, as did the gun distributor, MKS Supply, which was working closely with Beemiller. They “knew” because the gun used to shoot Williams was among some 250 guns purchased at Ohio gun shows by now-convicted gun trafficker James Nigel Bostic. Williams’ attorneys contend that gun show dealer Charles Brown, also “had to have known” Bostic was buying guns for illegal purposes.
Thought crime does it allply to Fast and Furious? hmmmm. So how did he know? The old gun show loophole again….
How many Mexicans died because of Obama-Holder gun walking????

This is stupid saying, but none-the-less true. That is like blaming pencils when the user of said pencil made the mistake!
