Jury: Gun industry not cause of violence
By TOM HAYSAssociated Press Posted on Wed, May. 14, 2003

NEW YORK - Rejecting a lawsuit brought by the NAACP, a federal jury Wednesday cleared 45 gun manufacturers and distributors of allegations their marketing practices have stoked violence in black and Hispanic neighborhoods.

The jury deliberated for five days before reaching its verdict in the closely watched case that now goes to the judge for a final decision. The panel was unable to reach a verdict regarding 23 other defendants.

Chris Cox, chief lobbyist for the National Rifle Association, called the ruling "common sense" and said the lawsuit was "aimed at bankrupting a law-abiding American industry by holding them liable for the actions of criminals."

Kweisi Mfume, the president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said he was disappointed by the jury's findings.

Guns don't kill people, people do

I think we went over this once before, but actually is is the loss of blood to the brain, causing the brain tissue to die that actually kills a person. The person, gun and bullet just hurry along the process.

 

[Professur]

Nooooooo. People don't kill people. Marketing kills people.

 

[PT]

I thought it was oreo's

 

[Professur]

No, oreo's only kill fat people and children.

 

[chcr]

Marketing kills people.

I frequently believe it is going to cause me to bust a vein, anyway.

I bet Michael Moore's going to be so pissed, he's going to make a documentary film.

 

[chcr]

Shit, I'm still fucked then.

I bet Michael Moore's going to be so pissed, he's going to make a documentary film.

Yea and then he wont get any big studios to back him again.

death kills people. and i believe guns can be a cause but so can cancer,knives,bare hands so many to mention

 

[Gonz]

i believe guns can be a cause

The gun, lying in a table just get up, points & fires itself? It is a tool to be used by a murderer, just like a knife or a boat & a sack of cement.

 

[freako104]

that wasnt what i meant when i said it could be a cause gonz. i meant it could be used as a way to kill someone or accidently kill someone either way.

 

[a13antichrist]

Cancer can't be used to kill someone.

 

[Luis G]

let's legalize atomic bombs, they don't kill people, is the guy that detonates them

 

[freako104]

Cancer can't be used to kill someone.

my point was that they can CAUSE someone to die.

 

[a13antichrist]

. i meant it could be used as a way to kill someone or accidently kill someone either way.

my point was that they can CAUSE someone to die.

Make up your mind, which is it?

 

[freako104]

the latter.

 

[a13antichrist]

In that case,

The gun, lying in a table just get up, points & fires itself? It is a tool to be used by a murderer, just like a knife or a boat & a sack of cement.

is a valid point.

let's legalize atomic bombs, they don't kill people, is the guy that detonates them

The us of a gun can't kill quite as many people with one shot.
I don't think it's a valid argument to compare WMD with small
arms.

 

[Luis G]

just as i think that "guns don't kill people, people do" is not a valid argument
