Gunmakers not liable for Las Vegas shooting massacre deaths, Nevada Supreme Court rules
CBSN
The Nevada Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that gunmakers and distributors are not responsible for the actions of the gunman in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, CBS affiliate KLAS-TV reports.
The parents of Carrie Parsons — one of the 60 people killed in the 2017 mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest festival victim —filed a lawsuit two years ago, blaming the deaths on gun manufacturers and dealers.
The lawsuit alleged the manufacturers of the AR-15 assault rifle knew the weapon could be effectively converted into an automatic weapon with the use of a bump stock. Colt, the company that makes the AR-15, was sued along with more than a dozen other defendants.
