DENVER (AP) -- The parents of a woman killed in the Colorado theater shootings filed a lawsuit Tuesday accusing four online retailers of improperly selling ammunition, tear gas, a high-capacity magazine and body armor used in the attack.

The lawsuit alleges it was illegal and negligent to sell the gear to James Holmes, who is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 20, 2012, attack.

It says the companies had no safeguards to keep dangerous people from buying their goods.

"It was highly foreseeable to (the) defendants that their potential customers included persons with criminal intent, including persons such as James Holmes," the lawsuit says.

The suit was filed by Sandy and Lonnie Phillips of San Antonio, whose daughter, Jessica Ghawi (GAH'-wee), was among the dead.

"We're putting them on notice," Lonnie Phillips said at a news conference in Denver. "We're coming after you."

The point has again been missed, partially. They should also sue the folks that made the shoes the shooter wore, as if he didn't have the shoes he may not have walked bare foot to the theater. Oh, and sue the folks that made the car he drove to get there and the station that sold him the gas for the car. Oh, and wait, there's more...

Spurred by the Brady Center to Prevent Firearm Ownership I see.

They should have sued the shooter's dad. He's the one that didn't pull out.

You forgot that they left out the movie theatre which provided the environment and opportunity! Sheesh....always someone else's fault!

These lawsuits need to be where if you sue for stupid crap and lose, you have to pay defense lawyer bills.

No kidding, I wished they would impose such!

Ugh. I wish these people would grow a brain cell or two. Might free up a BUNCH of docket time across the country.

I agree to some degree, but the true idiots that cause these lawsuits in the first place are the dumbass juries that award monetary awards in the first place. When I first read about the tobacco suits, I thought there wasn't a chance in hell these people would win anything. I knew smoking caused cancer since I was a kid and these idiots claimed they didn't know. All it took was one jury of idiots to prove me wrong.
