This Primus Group filed a suit against all the AR manufacturers and the suit was dismissed. Its good news, but the appeal was submitted within a day.

 

[Ura-Ki]

Ah, Got ya! I wasn't familiar with this Primus group or it's pending suit!

So this was a suit suing gun makers for making guns?
If I'm right then good call dismissing with prejudice. Hope the judge makes Primus pay S&W et al's legal bills too.

Primus is trying to argue that selling assault weapons is a public nuisance and that the hysteria (*) around mass shootings has impacted its business (I'm guessing it's a bar -- the decision calls it an "entertainment venue"). Anyway, the decision linked above is worth a quick read through. The decision quotes part of the complaint:

(*) The hysteria is driven by media, not gun manufacturers, and of course plaintiffs like Primus Group. But whatever, sue sue sue.

So who the hell is this Primus Group?
I've found them all over Europe and west Africa
What are they suing about?
What on earth is their standing in all of this in the first place?

I wish "assault weapons" were available to us the mere general public... What a crock of BS!

I would guess there's funding from a soro's group on this one

Acronyms.

Acronyms.

Hmm I thought an acronym is when you made a word out of initials like radar or FUBAR. Not sure how to pronounce PLCAA

PL-CAA

 

[GWS]

PL-CAA

I tried that but it came out .

 

[Stomper]

You properly pronounce PLCCA out of your butt... it's fitting because that's where they pulled their legal strategy from.

Is this the one in MA by their idiotic AG, or another one?

 

[Alexx1401]

Sadly the legal system is a mess. We all pay for this crap with everything every day. We really need reform for this but sadly few seem to care.

Put simply I don't understand quite a few of the intricacies involved with legal cases that get drug on and on, if it was dismissed "with prejudice" that sounds like a complete shut down right? However I'm seeing that an appeal was filed....on what grounds I would wonder, and as mentioned above who the hell is paying for all of this?!?!?

Am I as a tax payer paying for someone else to try to take more of my rights away (IMO this is just a method of removing firearms)!!!!
