Gun makers soon to be safe from lawsuits.

She was a good mother.

I think she would have told me to wash my hands thoroughly if I got a paper cut from money.

The paper cut was not from the money.

Anyway, I've got children home now, so I have to do the good mother thing.

Maybe later, the thread will be more on topic.

.

Then why the hell have we been talking about money??

I don't know. That's why I offered it as an analogy for pbman, because I think such a lawsuit would be silly.

Personally, I liked the candle analogy

Well, the cel phone is a piece of technology, sort of like a gun....

My kids just went to school today for the first time in two weeks. The teachers have been on strike.

Did macdonalds wilfully conceal the fact that coffee, a beverage traditionally and widely known to be made with boiling water, is often near 100 degrees celsius? No. Did macdonalds wilfully conceal the commonly known fact that boiling water can cause major burns? No. There is, in any sane system, no case to answer for. Macdonalds obviously did nothing wrong. The claim that the water was 'superheated' is clearly a nonsense to anyone who has even the most basic understanding of science - water boils at 100 degrees celsius at sea level and cannot get any hotter. Filter coffee tastes best when a) made with boiling water and b) served as freshly as possible. How can doing that possibly be negligent?

Even more eye-opening was the revelation that McDonald's had seen such injuries many times before. Company documents showed that in the past decade McDonald's had received at least 700 reports of coffee burns ranging from mild to third degree, and had settled claims arising from scalding injuries for more than $500,000.

When a law firm here found itself defending McDonald's Corp. in a suit last year that claimed the company served dangerously hot coffee, it hired a law student to take temperatures at other local restaurants for comparison.

After dutifully slipping a thermometer into steaming cups and mugs all over the city, Danny Jarrett found that none came closer than about 20 degrees to the temperature at which McDonald's coffee is poured, about 180 degrees.

Did they pour the coffee on to the guns?
Then the guns would become so hot that they would burn the user and cause a lawsuit?
Could the gun maker sue the person who poured the coffee?
kinda confusing

Oh, and a crawfish is a tiny fresh water lobster that lives in ditches and ponds
they are concidered a Lousianna delicacy. Crawfish can only walk backwards in an ungainly matter
So when someone "crawfishes" on a subject they are backing out in an ungainly mannor.
The press where "crawfishing" on the subject of the origins of the malvo rifle. There had been so many people that where supposed to be reliable reasonable commentators that had jumped to conclusions and attacked the Bull's Eye gunshop for being a part of the whole DC sniper thing and then when Malvo himself had admitted to stealing the rifle these "reasonable" people could not accept the fact that Bull's Eye was completly blameless in the Dc Sniper case even today many assigne blame to Bulls Eye for somehow being responsible for the shootings.
It is amazing how stupid, most reporters are, and WE ALL have to get our news filtered through the lens of these reporters perception.
When ya have stupid emotive reporters providing information to stupid emotive people all sorts of silly hijinks are to follow........like now.

and by the way
I love ditch food
