Families of Oregon District mass shooting victims sue firearm magazine maker

[Red*Lion]

Thanks Remington for opening the door.....


The civil wrongful death lawsuit was filed in District Court in Clark County Nevada on Sunday. This Wednesday will mark two years since the deadly mass shooting in the Oregon District on August 4, 2019.

In the 74-page lawsuit, attorneys allege negligence on the part of Kyung Chang Industry USA, Inc. (KCI) and its related South Korean company. KCI made and sold the 100-round magazine that the FBI says Connor Betts used the night of his murderous rampage. In less than 30 seconds, Betts shot and killed nine and wounded more than 20 others before Dayton police shot and killed him, ending his attack.

“If the Dayton shooter did not have such a large capacity magazine, he would not have been able to inflict the damage that he did,” said Ben Cooper, an attorney and partner with Columbus-based law firm Cooper & Elliot, LLC. “No civilian needs a 100-round magazine. It’s only useful for the military or mass shootings. They’re incredibly dangerous and the companies know that.”

So when is so sone going to sue GM for making a car so fast it gets you speeding tickets. Or so powerful it wraps you around a light post when you loose the rear end. How about suing Wild Turkey for making a beverage that will cause you to lose your senses and you kill a family. Or how about someone sue a DA that lets a criminal go abs they hurt you.

I’m sure the recent Remington decision to settle didn’t have any impact on this case. Sarcasm.

Smart to target a foreign company. They will just roll over and pay.

Oregon, Las Vegas and Dayton???

Deep pockets all the way. I mean if they wanted to they could sue everyone who had anything to do with the gun and and ammo. Right down to the company that made the lube on the gun...but then, there's no money in that, except maybe the gun co., but they must have a weak case on that front.

I think they see the writing on the wall that an AWB is probably not going to pass muster, and that mag limits are their best bet.
