    • RMA Armament is named for providing the body armor Gendron wore during the shooting.

    No he bought it.

    • Vintage Firearms of Endicott, New York, is singled out for selling the shooter the weapon used in the attack.

    Not their issue he passed the background check.

    • The lawsuit claims Mean LLC manufactured an easily removable gun lock, offering a way to circumvent New York laws prohibiting assault weapons and large-capacity magazines.

    Any knob w/ a dremel can make a gun full auto, let alone defeating a mag lock. And he broke NY law doing this.

    • YouTube, named with parent companies Alphabet Inc. and Google, is accused of contributing to the gunman’s radicalization and helping him acquire information to plan the attack.

    This is just absurd.

    My guess is they are hoping for settlements vs going to trial where they lose.







  • All big service companies are doing this, airlines, hotels, insurance, rental, car rental. They have a big database that they all input into.

    I was (temp) barred from renting a car in 2005 because they said I stole a rental. I went back after them to prove it and they did a bit of digging. It was in Illinois, a state I have never been too… Oh and he was black and I’m glow in the dark Irish. If I hadn’t pressed it they were fine w/ denying me.

    Also got grabbed by the Michigan Sate Police over the same matter, but they figured it out pretty quick compared to the rental car company. No cuffs or jail, just a 15 minute wait and the trooper apologizing and we had a laugh over it.

    So add another to the list rental properties.



  • This how people are gonna find out how bad of an idea to allow the manufacturer to have that much control over your car after purchase. Tesla will shut their cars off if they find them jail breaked.

    Just like the guy that wasn’t allowed to fix the cooling hose on the battery Tesla’s only option was to replace it. A third party fixed it but he still had concerns that they would shut it off (citing safety) because he wouldn’t buy a whole new battery after he fixed it. Also barring him from quick charge stations was another concern.
