Lawyers seeking a massive payday have filed the first lawsuit in the aftermath of the Uvalde School Massacre earlier this year. The attorneys have employed the âsue in depthâ strategy, naming ten defendants, including famed AR-maker Daniel Defense and the maker of an aftermarket trigger installed on the killerâs rifle, plus the gun shop where the gun was purchased.
One defendant not mentioned was the source of income that allowed a kid working part-time in a fast food restaurant the money to afford thousands of dollars in guns, magazines, ammo, and holographic gun sights.
The New York Post has the sad news of lawfare against the gun community:
The families of three children who survived the massacre at Robb Elementary School have become the first to file a federal lawsuit in connection with the mass shooting, which left 19 students and two teachers dead.
The suit, filed Thursday in federal court in Del Rio, Texas, names ten defendants, including the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, Pete Arredondo, the districtâs since-fired chief of police, and Robb Elementary School principal, Mandy Gutierrez. It also aims at gun manufacturer Daniel Defense LLC, Firequest International Inc., which designed an accessory trigger system the gunman used; and Oasis Outback LLC, where the alleged gunman, 18-year-old [Scumbagâs name redacted], purchased his firearmâŚ
âWe are after accountability and damages, and because my plaintiffs are young, they will have to deal with the trauma of what they went through,â attorney Stephanie Sherman said. âItâs just a perfect soup of lack of care, and I canât help but think this poor community was not protected in any way.â
âNot protected in any way,â she said. In other news, water is wet. At the same time it wasnât Daniel Defenseâs fault, nor the gun shop where the gun was legally purchased.
Whether people realize it or not, Texas law allows school staff to pack heat. However, the Uvalde School District chose to make their properties âgun-free zones.â (And even after this springâs massacre, theyâve retained the policy that worked so well for the 22-23 school year⌠see page 63.) Hence, nobody inside that school had the tools to mount a defense against the children inside.
And then thereâs the matter of the Uvalde PD standing around waiting for âresourcesâ while the killer continued to massacre kids, and then for a while longer to let many of the wounded bleeds to death.
The legal team representing the three victims thought they had an easier chance to score big bucks suing a gun manufacturer than the Uvalde PD, who watched the killer walk into the school carrying a long gun and then stand around as he killed his victims.
At the beginning of the clip, two Uvalde PD officers are standing on the right side of the frame, not challenging the rifle-toting kid, not drawing their weapons and shooting at him but just standing there as the killer walks inside.
The whole thing is sickening. This is why itâs in our best interests as parents to take a proactive approach with our kidsâ schools to ensure they have the best practice policies and procedures to mitigate the risk and protect our kids from another lunatic like the one in Uvalde.
Again, the life you save by doing so might be your sonâs or daughter’s.
