The indications are that the first audience member to announce his intention to sue, is planning on Suing the owners of the movie theater, the producers of the Batman movie, and a doctor who is alleged to have treated and medicated James Holmes' before the shooting.

No mention of any plans to sue the gun manufactures though. What about the people who sold Holmes' 6000 rounds of ammunition over the internet? How about suing the clerks at the two stores where he bought the guns? Why not sue the stores themselves? What about all of the accessories he purchased, and used during his killing spree? Shouldn't the people who sold him body armor, a gas mask, tear gas, etc. be held accountable?

Why not sue the state of Colorado, and the city of Aurora? Quite obviously, the respective governments failed miserably in preventing James Holmes from acquiring a deadly arsenal and using it to kill or wound 70 people. I would think a lawsuit against the federal government would be in order as well, on the same grounds.

Why not sue the fucking NRA? Has anyone tried that approach yet? You won't win, but the lawsuit would certainly have more merit then the ones actually being considered. And it would attract some very unwanted attention to the gun lobby. Why not file a class-action lawsuit against the NRA, on behalf of every American who has been impacted by gun violence? Something along the lines of the Tobacco lawsuits.

If the government is not going to protect us, then another approach is needed. And I'm not talking about going to Gander Mountain and buying out their inventory.
