Lawsuit Against AR-15 Manufactures dismissed with prejudice

[LibertyDen] The U.S. District Court (Southern District of Ohio) has dismissed, with prejudice, the Primus Group v. Smith & Wesson, et al lawsuit. The decision was delivered October 9, eliminating the plaintiff’s claims against several prominent AR-15 firearms manufacturers, including Smith & Wesson, Remington Arms Company, SIG Sauer, Sturm, Ruger & Company, Colt Manufacturing, and Armalite.

"This decision by the federal judge to dismiss with prejudice this frivolous case is pleasing, if not unexpected," said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President of Government Relations and Public Affairs and General Counsel. "These are lawful and federally-regulated AR-15 modern sporting rifle manufacturers that make semiautomatic rifles for lawful purposes. The judge asserted that the proper venue to establish public firearms policy is through the legislature and not the courts.

The court found the plaintiffs had no standing to bring the case against the defendants. This decision rightfully asserts that those who purposefully and criminally misuse firearms are the ones who are responsible for those crimes. It further affirms that activist lawsuits to prompt judicial action are not the proper avenue to establish policy.
Don't worry guys. Beto will ban them for you when he gets in office!

#1 Now, sue the crap out of them for legal fees. Punch back, twice as hard.

#2 Hopefully, they'll sue again and lay themselves open to charges of barratry.

#3 The last people the anti-gun activists talked into suing the industry got crushed and had to pay the court costs. Brady and Bloomberg groups didn't cover their costs at all, left them to twist in the wind. I've seen no follow up stories about them, so I guess there's no left-wing gloat-worthy outcome for them to celebrate.
