Here's hoping they can counter-sue for attorney's fees.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Backs Online Firearms Retailer ArmsList in Mass Shooting Lawsuit
The Wisconsin Supreme Court sided with an online firearms dealer Tuesday, dismissing a lawsuit that claimed the company should be held liable for a mass shooting.
The 5-1 ruling cited the federal Communications Decency Act in favor of Armslist LLC, a classified sales site for firearms. Under the act’s provisions, virtual domain administrators are shielded from liability claims that stem from third-party posts and content.
I found this on a quick search and thought I would piggyback. I am pretty sure it is the same case, but I can't read much of the original link. An appeals court reinstated the case and it took this long get a ruling from the state supreme court.
Now I wonder if they are eligible to sue for attorney fees after all this time.

No, not the same case.
The first one happened in Washington, this one happened in Wisconsin. In the most recent one, an asshat bought a gun and killed several people with it, including his wife, before he killed himself.

Why are they suing Armslist? I thought the NRA sold all the guns in this country. ???

I think the NRA just sells hope and fear.
