    • 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.

    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.
