Nearly two years after a gunman opened fire in a busy King Soopers store, killing 10 people, the son of one victim is taking legal action against the manufacturer who makes and markets the gun used.

Filed in Connecticut since they have laws allowing manufacturers to be sued.

Just like the law about to pass here.

Help me understand how he could file in Connecticut for a crime that was committed in CO.

Shouldn't there be jurisdictional limitations?

[eddiememphis]

I think because the gun was sold in Colorado.

But I have no idea the legalities. And that may be the idea behind these laws.

Ruger has a corporate office in Ct. And this is a civil suit.

I heard this as well. I thought they moved to Arizona? Must just be manufacturing there.

Think they have offices or physical locations in 5 or 6 states.

Colorado approved the shooter to buy the gun by conducting a thorough background check. The state of Colorado is 100% responsible for the shooter obtaining the gun. Ruger had no part in the sales transaction.

No different than Coors not being responsible for a drunk driver killing someone while driving.

Why can't lawsuits be required to follow basic logic and reasoning?

Ruger had zero say in who purchased a legal product and later used it to break the law. These money grubbing lawyers representing these families should be dropped through a wood chipper.

This actually makes sense, a lot more than the current lawsuit.

They are just looking to settle.

So with that thinking, can they sue King Soopers too?

Maybe figure out what kind of vehicle the perpetrator drove and go after the manufacturer of that vehicle. I mean if they didn?t sell him that car then he wouldn?t have been able to drive to the grocery store that day.
