Tish James believes in fictional porcelain Glock

[gunpoliticsny]

Attorney General Tish James intends to defend New York’s public nuisance law, A-6762B/S-7196, in a lawsuit brought against Glock for a subway shooting back in April.

There’s no press release from her office, just this story at Courthouse News Service.

Her complaint contains this nugget of stupidity on page 24:

“… “Upon information and belief, in or around 1990, “the Glock began to appear in the hands of police officers in Law and Order and other police procedural shows. It was also used by Bruce Willis in the movie Die Hard 2. Willis’ character even bragged about the advantages of using a Glock…”[He] introduced the gun as a character to people who don’t know anything about guns,” says Barrett …”

That’s the fictional porcelain Glock 7. She actually put that into a lawsuit.

Now we can sue investors.

So....any legal product that is successfully marketed to the public creates a moral hazard for the company if a deranged miscreant misuses the product? Interesting.

Alcohol companies should be quaking in their boots.

Citing fiction under “On information and belief” should be grounds for immediate dismissal with prejudice. What a fucking moron.

So wait Glock is responsible for what Hollywood says about their products? So now what gang members can say this gun is great for killing your rival and Glock can be sued for this?

Tish and her staff are just copy and pasties....

They might as well be quoting firearms statistics from Mother Jones!

Oh wait....

I am sure the actual transition of NYPD to Glock had nothing to do with the show going that route.

Die Hard 2...pretty sure Willis used a 92F again not a Glock, the bad guys had them. I guess one of the "advantages" of a Glock is how they cost more than a months pay?

Loaded with the "cop killer" ammo one could kill the world!

That was my first thought. Maybe she should be suing Hollywood.

PLEASE, OH PLEASE GOD LET ME BE PICKED FOR THAT JURY!

 

[Truebeliever]

And automakers

They already are. A Jeep owner decided not to pay extra for collision mitigation tech option that would have added more than 2,000 to the cost of the car. She got into an accident . The party she hit, sued Jeep and won in an AZ court. It’s going thru the appeals process now.

Ceramic Glocks ? Of course she believes in them. She also believes in the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause, and the Loch Ness Monster.

Uh, excuse me "Tish"......there's a buffet calling your name. Now fuck off.
