Almost 2 years after a kid was killed by a friend with a gun he found under an abandoned car, the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence (CPHV) filed suit against Brazilian gun manufacturer, Amadeo Rossi, and the dealer who sold the gun. They claim the weapon was "defective" because it was not designed to prevent unauthorized use, and that the accident occurred because the gun was "negligently distributed" to a criminal.
KABA NOTE: Someone should sue CPHV for negligent and reckless use of the United States legal system. |

Nearly three dozen families of Columbine High School victims and survivors agreed to a settlement of about $2.5M in their lawsuits against the gunmen's parents and the providers of a gun used in the massacre. The money will be paid by the defendants' homeowners' insurance policies. Still left pending in U.S. District court are suits against the sheriff's department and school district (for ignoring warnings of the attack and mishandling the rescue) and a suit against the operator of the gun show (mentioned in yesterday's Newslinks). |

Some Wyoming Area parents are trying to organize a group to fight the School District's zero-tolerance policy. Among them is the aunt of a student whose death in a car accident led to the district adopting its policy that punishes students for acts such as drinking that are committed off school property. |

A new study by John Lott and John Whitley finds no support for the theory that safe gun storage laws reduce either juvenile accidental gun deaths or suicides. Instead, these storage requirements appear to impair the ability to use guns defensively. During the first five years after the passage of safe storage laws, the group of fifteen states that adopted these laws faced an annual average increase of over 300 more murders, 3860 more rapes, 24650 more robberies, and over 25000 more aggravated assaults. |

After an election cycle in which the two major-party presidential candidates took pains to avoid the subject of guns, a new interest group and two of the Senate's highest-profile members are not only seeking to revive political debate over the issue, but turn the spotlight onto one relatively narrow aspect of it. |

Arizona is "flooding the nation with guns" used in crimes because the state does not require background checks for all sales at gun shows, a national gun control group and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) claims.
KABA NOTE: Of course the "gun control" group and the "ATF" has glossed-over the fact that the CRIMINALS ALONE are responsible for the crimes they commit. |
Store Owners Accused of Premeditated Murder

We had a shooting at a warehouse: Two brother-owners had been robbed on two consecutive nights, and a rifle was stolen. They stayed in the building on the third night, armed with shotguns. The robbers came on the third night, and the brothers shot them. One robber died, and the other two were hospitalized. The robbers were unarmed. The brothers are now being accused of "premeditated murder".
KABA NOTE: We hope this jury has more sense than to convict these store owners without proof-beyond-a-reasonable-doubt. From the story as it is printed here, it sounds like these two store owners have protected the public from more guns being sold on the black market, as well as disposing of at least one chronic thief. |

A woman was sitting near the right-field flagpole when she was shot in the abdomen and arm. The lawsuit said that the stadium should have either installed metal-detectors or asked incoming patrons if they carried guns.
~~This is silly! Why isn't this woman suing the responsible party: the shooter? |
