    It won't go anywhere. The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act protects them from bull$#@! lawsuits like this. The judge who let this go forward should be removed from the bench for incompetence, then beat with an ugly stick for wasting everyone's time.

    Every judge who behaves this way ought to be eligible for hanging.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    If you don't mind, I'm using a brand new Ugly Stick for surf casting that I won in a raffle this past winter, Got a Penn reel on it...I'd rather it not be used for beating someone.....wait...….oh...….there are no upper case letters there.....you just meant the phrase 'ugly stick' rather than the dependable Ugly Stick fishing rod? Well then.....sorry....I stand corrected...carry on with the beatings!

    I have read and read and read. The marketing is not a violation of any state or federal law - a necessary prerequisite to eliminate the preemption under the PLCAA -- which the plaintiffs concede in Soto.

    Relevance? The shooter did not buy their gun. Or any gun. The liberal demand for blood lacks in reason.

    Stop. Sit down. Fire up a blunt. Calm down.

    The guy that did the shooting allegedly had Aspergers (which I dont believe would make someone violent) . Now every retard in America allegedly has Aspergers. Flavor of the week.
