    If you fire a gun, you are 100% responsible for the bullet, full stop.

      What if you’re at a paid indoor range and your bullet goes through the back stop wall because the range cheaped out?

          It’s literally the (tort) law. I don’t think the armchair lawyers here understand anything

            If you’re defending\agreeing with Triumph, I don’t think you understand tort law.

              Literally just had a case in my Tort Law class about this very thing. I think you don’t know anything at all.

                I know in my scenario under tort, the gun range or someone further down in the construction of the range would be found liable, and not the shooter.

          Your unwillingness to reason has made you out to be seen as stupid.

            A question was asked. I answered it. Please indicate where I was “unwilling[] to reason”.

              … The part where a shooter is always 100% responsible for the bullet.

      Especially if the bullet doesn’t full stop into the target or a barrier behind it.

        @LyD@lemmy.ca points out that the barrier had nothing to do with it.

      1oo% true. and yet… who would build a a base ball park right next to a gun range?! not saying they are at fault, but like …really? there must be something i don’t know, like was it an indoor range?

        The outdoor range points away from the baseball field.

          i mean ok, i get it. but OOF. i see also that the shooting wasn’t even at the gun range. still seems like a weird place to constantly hear gun fire during your kids little league game
