Morning Thread (12-16-2014)

Yesterday 10 families affected by the Sandy Hook shooting sued Bushmaster and the entire distribution channel that sold the gun to the shooter's mother. The complaint is an interesting read in that it looks like it was cut-and-pasted from anti-gun comments on Daily Kos.

An example:

According to the #SandyHook lawyers, the Bushmaster "ejects" bullets at 4,000 feet per second. Probably out of 30-caliber magazine clips

Bob followed that up with a good piece on the history of the AR-15 and why this suit is doomed.

Also ... oops:

The Sandy Hook complaint omits a rather important intervening fact here, relevant to "entrustment": pic.twitter.com/RzinbMaVMT

UPDATE: Somehow the myth that an AR-15 wasn't used at Sandy Hook but was found in the shooter's car still lives on after 2 years. Nope.
