Liberty points to this un-f***ing-believable story

An off-duty Los Angeles police officer who was paralyzed after his young son accidentally shot him in 2006 filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the manufacturer of the gun involved in the accident.

Enrique Chavez of Anaheim was shot in the back by his 3-year-old son after the boy grabbed his father's Glock 21 — a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol — from the back seat of his pickup truck.

The lawsuit, filed in Superior Court, alleges that Glock Inc.'s gun was dangerous because its safety device was "non-existent or ineffective" at preventing an accidental shot.

Since when did a small nib of metal become a suitable replacement for proper parenting? Is it Wüsthof's fault that you left a ceramic paring knife around where your child could cut themselves with it? Should Calphalon be sued when your toddler grabs the handle that you left hanging over the edge of the stove and pours scalding water on someone?

This part makes me both chuckle and get all frothy in anger

The lawsuit alleges the defendants knew the safety device was defective and that 5.5 pounds of pressure on the trigger frequently results in accidental discharges.

5.5 pounds of pressure on the trigger is not accidental. This is like suing General Electric because flipping on the light switch actually causes the light to go on. The trigger, when pulled, makes big gun go boom. That is the entire purpose of a gun.

This Parent of the Year candidate is also suing the holster manufacturer, and the stores where the items were purchased. I assume he's trying to claim that his weapon slid out of his holster and ended up in the back seat and that, the holster being defective, not only gained weight when it was emptied, but changed shape in such a manner that it was impossible to tell that his 2 pound handgun had left on its own accord. And the employee at register #3 should have known this before he sold it to him.

This is America now. Sue others for your lack of responsibility. It's Glock's fault that Mr. Mom couldn't adequately maintain his firearm. Life should be swaddled in bubble wrap and nothing should have even the slightest hint of danger and any company that produces a product that might pop a bubble or two should be sued out of existence until ponies run free, eating rainbows and pooping butterflies.
