Since law suits are en vogue, I am wondering why more victims of crimes don't sue the State or businesses for not protecting them, or for not allowing them to protect themselves.
For instance, the woman in Texas (forgot her name) who filed suit against Texas for not letting her carry her gun into the Luby's, and therefore she had to watch her parents die.
If every victim of violent crime, or even %10 of them, started suing the State for not allowing them to protect themselves, then I think that would be very formidable. Same with businesses that do not let you carry a gun into them, but fail to protect you.
If the State, and businesses, are going to disarm us and refuse to let us protect ourselves, it should become their resposibility to protect us.
I realize that the Supreme court has decided that the Police are not responsible to protect us, but it seems that if you sue the State (not the Police) for the gun laws that castrate people and make them vicitms, that it might fly. The same would be to sue a business that disarms you , but then does not do enough to keep the bad guys out and keep you safe.
And...if that didn't work, how about the fact that the State is too easy on criminals and %80 of crime is by repeat offenders. Victims should start suing the State when they are attacked by a repeat offender. What this would accomplish is that the State would start being much more careful who they set free, and they would eventually get tougher on crime.
If all else fails, hit them in the pocketbook to get them to take some action. They ARE responsible when they disarm the public, and then let criminals out of jail early to prey on the defensless populace. THEY are creating this situation.
whaddya think?
