[QUOTE="excat, post: 2615795, member: 29449"] I think this is something we need to watch to see how far this gets.... The parents of Jessica Ghawi, who was killed in the 2012 Aurora theater shootings, filed a lawsuit in Arapahoe County District Court on Tuesday against four Internet ammunition and military-grade supply companies who they allege recklessly supplied the man accused in the attack. "We're putting them on notice," said Lonnie Phillips, Ghawi's father, at a news conference in Denver. "We're coming after you." The lawsuit was filed by the nationally recognized law firm Arnold & Porter LLP's Denver office in conjunction with the Washington D.C.-based Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. The companies named in the litigation are scattered in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Arizona.

The Phillips say the companies should have seen the foreseeable risk that their products would be used in such an attack. "The defendants did not make reasonable inquiries into Holmes' purchases, nor did the defendants take any extra precautions when selling Holmes weapons, accessories and ammunition, or ask Holmes why he wanted the items," the lawsuit says. ...... read the rest here....
