My plea is for the compensation of taxpayers. The States have suffered injury as a result of the forseable use of the manufacturers product. This constitutes negligence. Therefore, the manufacturer shares responsibility for damage and injury caused by its use.
I further claim that that joint and several liability applies to all defendants in the matter. All from the gun manufacturer to the end user have acted negligently whether such negligence was intended or not.
Does that sound like an emotional appeal?
