"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

Bushmaster Pulls a Spain

U.S. Gunmaker, Shop Settle with Sniper Victims

SEATTLE (Reuters) -- The company that made the Bushmaster rifle used in the Washington-area sniper killings and a gun shop that lost track of the firearm agreed to pay $2.5 million to victims in what lawyers said on Thursday was an unprecedented settlement

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Bushmaster is not resposible for a legal product they produced being used to kill ten and injure three. John Muhammad and Lee Malvo are. This bit of kowtowing sets a dangerous (and stupid) precedent.

Stupid move Bushmaster. I had every intention of picking up a Bushmaster when this moronic "Assault Weapons Ban" sunsets in two days.
