A group of nuns has filed suit to force Smith & Wesson to stop manufacturing AR-15 rifles. The basis of the suit, according to the nuns, is that these rifles have no purpose other than mass murder.
Is that why the police have them? So they can commit mass murder?
If the answer is yes, then the police should stop carrying AR-15 rifles and, for that matter, any other semi-automatic weapons.
If the answer is no, then this suit is ridiculous on its face since it is based on a demonstrably false claim.
Which is it?
And will Smith & Wesson countersue for court costs when the suit is tossed? I hope they will – to set a precedent for anyone else who might contemplate trying this in the future.
