Victims file lawsuits against hotel, gun companies

Quote :

The hotel-casino from where Stephen Paddock fired, concert organizers and the makers and sellers of a bump stock gun accessory that enabled him to fire rapidly are named as defendants. The court filings argue that they all share blame for the worst mass shooting in recent U.S. history.

The 14 civil complaints, filed together in state court in Las Vegas, follow at least three others filed since Paddock opened fire Oct. 1 from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino, killing 58 people and injuring hundreds of others. The lawsuit seeks unspecific compensation for both "physical and mental injuries."

I doubt anything substantial is going to come of this, but thought it'd be interesting to share.

Yes it was only a matter of time. The first victim filed a lawsuit weeks ago, so it was only a matter of time before more followed her lead.

I don't see why people do this. The bump stock was approved by the ATF and is perfectly legal. And how would the concert organisers and the hotel know what he was going to do?
