Judge dismisses lawsuit against gun industry

The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS -- A St. Louis County judge has dismissed a lawsuit the city of St. Louis brought against the gun industry seeking reimbursement for costs associated with gun-related injuries.

St. Louis County Judge Emmett O'Brien said he found no basis for the claim. O'Brien dismissed the lawsuit against gun manufacturers on Oct. 15. Then on Friday, he dismissed it against the remaining defendants: gun distributors and trade organizations.

In a five-page opinion, O'Brien wrote that such lawsuits would open "a floodgate to additional litigation." He also said that "issues of both logic and fairness" favored dismissing the case.

Add a "$" between the "html" and "rec=123152" to view the article...for some reason the dollar sign will not show up in the link even though it shows up in the edit box

3. Your link's as dead as Heston's brain

"The file you requested, /story.html=123152, could not be found."

Amusingly, today's online poll is

"Have you ever been the victim of an Internet prank?
 Yes
 No"

10. That's a Glitch in the DU Software, Township

Sometimes it posts two or three identical posts, with no intervention by the person making the post.

11. You are correct CO-L...

just like the fact that the DU software will not show the $ in the web address I posted...Bench and I are just having some fun with each other.

12. Wow! 11 posts and not one

from Mr Benchly telling us how the corrupt gun industry is feeding $$$ to the MO courts.

Instead, the only posts from him are attacks on the original post based on a syntax error in the DU posting software. Wow, talk about the mother of strawmen arguments. (I guess that would be Mrs. Strawman...Ma'am to you and me)
