CA Judge Rules Smith & Wesson Can Be Sued for Synagogue Shooting Because an AR-15 Can Be Modified as a Machine Gun

[Annihilator]

All I can say on this is its ridiculous, it is not easy to turn a semi auto rifle into a full auto with basic tools and such as it was states in this article. Figures it was a California judge to boot.

I'm guessing that this judge knows almost any firearm can be made to operate fully automatically as long as you have a machine shop and you know what you are doing.
This is just another end-run attempt by a Leftist activist.

California...need I say more?

PS Any automobile or truck can be converted into a suicide bomb.
I'm scared and I did it to myself.
I need a safe space.

Does this fall into the arena of "politics"?

The judge also allowed a suit to go ahead against the retailer who sold the rifle to the shooter. The retailer allegedly sold the gun to him even though he was under 21 at the time and lacked a hunting permit, as California law mandates.

This paragraph one would think would absolve Smith&Wesson of any accountability.

The PLCCA absolves them. And this activist judge knows it. He is emboldened by the state supreme court back east that allowed a similar suit. They will both end up being tossed. That is assured.

While I completely agree with you had the law been followed that particular fellow would never have had that particular firearm to begin with.

While I completely agree with you had the "grossly unconstitutional state law" been followed that particular fellow would never have had that particular firearm to begin with.

Fixed it for you.

A political hack wearing a robe, how unusual. He must want to move up in the current illegitimate administration.
It will never survive Constitutional scrutiny.
