$150 Million Lawsuit Filed Against Smith & Wesson By Danforth Shooting Victims

Two of the victims who were injured during a mass shooting in Toronto’s Danforth neighbourhood in 2018 are looking to proceed with a $150-million class-action lawsuit against United States gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson Corp.
Lawyers for Samantha Price and Skye McLeod, along with their family members, filed a statement of claim with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on Monday.
“The handgun is an ‘ultra-hazardous product specifically designed to injure or kill people. The handgun was negligently designed and manufactured in that Smith & Wesson failed to incorporate ‘authorized user’ (or ‘smart gun’) technology into the weapon,” the claim said, noting “smart gun” technology “prevents unauthorized users … from firing the weapon.”
I don’t have a feel for whether a judgment in Canada would actually affect S&W here in America, but when the supreme tyrants decided to let the Remington lawsuit go forward, they doomed the legal process to ridiculous claims like this.
Congratulations to the tyrants. I guess you won this round. And S&W will doubtless have to look for ways to cut costs because of the legal fees coming their way. I’m sure this won’t affect the customer.

That’s two lies in the first sentence. I doubt the rest of their filing is any more accurate.

I suggest they cut costs by removing the Hillary Hole from all their revolver lines.

First, take handguns away from EVERY Policeman. They are ONLY used to injure and kill people.
No? Policemen “NEED” their guns?
Then you’re saying the primary purpose of Policemen is to injure and kill people? Really?

So, S&W failed to incorporate a product feature that doesn’t exist. Got it.
