Gun Maker Liable
An Oakland, CA jury has found a gun manufacturer partially liable for an accidental shooting of a 7 yr. old boy. Now before you start foaming at the mouth, there's a twist.
The gun manufacturer. headed by Mr. Jennings, had made certain modifications to the gun's design.
In Brandon's case, Ms. Ni said, the crucial issue was that the .38-caliber Bryco semiautomatic was designed in such a way that it could be unloaded only when the safety was turned to the "off" position.
"You have to disengage the safety and put the gun in a dangerous position to unload it," Ms. Ni said. "That is a defect in the design."
During testimony, it was shown that Mr. Jennings had changed the design of the gun to make it operate that way.
What kind of freaking moron designs a gun so you have to take the safety off to unload it? How stupid is that?
I hope the punitives break your company, you moronic asshat.
