Reading this information again - some of it has been "around" - I wonder if the world of HCI and its lookalikes and wannabes could be sued by those folks with losses. My point of view is that we are held to certain legal ramifications for our actions, and if our actions manifest harm to another, we can be sued or prosecuted according to the law involved (tort or slander for instance).
Seems to me that if restrictions to personal defense cause me a loss (of whatever kind) that I should have recourse to those responsible for both the implementation and design of those restrictions. After all, if someone slanders my reputation or takes my money under false pretenses, I can sue them. Why can't I sue if I lose a child due to these restrictions?
Maybe all the folks who have lost family and friends due to (unconstitutional) self-defense restrictions should roll out a class action suit naming all the appropriate people and organizations responsible for those restrictions - including those solons who are voting their personal "convictions" and not necessarily the will of their constituents. A few major suits could set things right IMNSHO.
Any lawyers out there?
