Judge Rules Smith and Wesson Can Be SUED for NEGLIGENCE
A California judge has ruled that Smith & Wesson can be sued for negligence related to the marketing of their M&P-15 rifle. The lawsuit stems from a 2019 synagogue shooting, where the perpetrator used a Smith & Wesson firearm. The judge's ruling focused on the marketing of the rifle, suggesting it was negligent, and also allowed the gun store that sold the firearm to be sued. The ruling touches on the potential for firearms to be modified for fully automatic fire and the legal implications of marketing practices.
