No he didn't.
The suit was for $73 million. Settlement was reached out-of-court with an insurance firm for an undisclosed sum. Definitely NOT $73 million.

All legal firearm sales are preserved except personal ones.

I don’t think that applies in this case.

Parents looking to get rich off the backs of their dead kids. Sad.

Although you’re of course grieving, Daniel Defense didn’t kill your kids.

That’s like suing the knife manufacturer for a stabbing death.

What's the angle? The kid was of legal age and bought the firearm legally. What can the manufacturer be held liable for?

Imagine the excitement all those parasitic lawyers felt upon learning of this incident.

I guess I don't understand. I initially thought that one could only sue manufacturers if the product they manufactured was defective and caused injuries or death.

In terms of fricked up lawsuits...
Wouldn't the gov be at fault before the gun manufacturer is? Gov allowed that guy to pass the background check and get the guns.

This seems rather quick...



Hopefully a judge properly cites the PLCAA and dismisses this lawsuit just as quickly.

Why the fricking gun manufacturers??????




Maybe because the shooter was only 17 when he ordered the gun from DD would be my guess. DD is in GA. The shooter bought the gun at a dealership in Texas the day after his 18th birthday. I've been saying this since the second day of the shooting when an article came out saying he ordered the gun online from DD.

He was legal when he bought it. The manufacturer did nothing wrong.

First I’ve heard of this. But even assuming that it’s true, the transfer was not completed until after his 18th birthday, and after the NICS check was completed, so seems irrelevant to their “case.”

Yep.

Pull the liability immunity and kill the ability to get insurance.

U.S. gun makers out of business.

I get that but are you saying it's okay for your 17 year-old son to order a gun online and wait until he is 18 to actual pay for it at a dealership? I have not read anything about the legality of that.

A lot of these fire-arm manufacturers provide tools for the US military and law enforcement.

Great we will just be forced to buy Spanish weapons and those from other countries.

1914 all over again.

Again, if the actual transfer of the weapon doesn’t occur until after the legal age already established under federal law, what’s the issue here?

17 year olds can enlist in the military, with parental consent, and they’re somehow magically more responsible when they have tax payer guns in their hands?
