The son of one of 10 people killed at a Colorado supermarket in 2021 is suing gunmaker Sturm, Ruger & Co. over how it marketed the firearm used in the massacre.

Lawsuit follows similar route taken by relatives of Sandy Hook shooting victims to hold gunmakers responsibleTributes hang on the temporary fence surrounding the parking lot in front of a Boulder, Colo., King Soopers grocery store where 10 people were killed in a March 2021 mass shooting.The lawsuit — filed Tuesday in state court in Connecticut, where Sturm, Ruger & Co.

"We believe they marketed it in a way that was meant to appeal to the militarization of young individuals, glorified lone shooters and, especially in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, we think they had a moral responsibility to do better," he said. The Colorado shooter, 23-year-old Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, is accused of opening fire outside and inside the store — killing customers, workers and a police officer who tried to stop the attack. Alissa, who has schizophrenia, has been ruled incompetent to stand trial. He is charged with murder and multiple counts of attempted murder.

The case was closely watched by gun control advocates, gun rights supporters and gun manufacturers because of its potential to provide a road map for victims of other shootings to sue firearm manufacturers.

Still trying to tally how many people were permanently gimped by a gov mandated jab on this end.

The gunmaker did not commit the crime. A human being did. A gun is nothing more then a tool. A hammer or a utility knife or even a toolkit can be used as a weapon. Get off this kick of blaming inanimate objects or their manufacturers.
