Re: Gun manufacturer liability
by Erik
Wow! I never thought about the relationship between the two. Now that I am thinking about it, I don't think the "induce" paradigm stops at guns. Yesterday, I heard a local talk show host discussing a court case involving a local hotel that might loose its liquor license because a patron died on January 1st, 1999 after consuming an excessive amount of alcohol. The talk show host was crying for reform and couldn't imagine why the hotel should loose its license for serving a single patron on New Years Eve too much alcohol (the toxicology report showed the patron to be at 4 times the legal limit to drive—with a BAC of .4%). I imagine this same talk show host would be an INDUCE Act supporter, and probably feels those p2p programs are liable. The key here is the double standard. Obviously the three arguments differ in many ways, but I think the underlying concept might be the same. Powerful stuff and a great article, thanks Susan. Erik T.
