BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- A federal jury Thursday found several of the nation's largest firearms manufacturers negligent for marketing and distribution practices that allowed guns to fall in the hands of criminals who committed seven shootings in the New York area.

Although the jury awarded only limited damages, its decision marks the first time that gun manufacturers have been held legally at fault for not taking reasonable steps to prevent criminals from obtaining their products.

This is just the start of the insanity. How did we become a nation of people who cannot accept responsibility for our own actions. Why must we blame others for our misfortunes and missteps.

We're sending the wrong message to our kids. We're suppose to teach them to take responsibility for their actions. What we're teaching them is to look for the deepest pockets and sue like hell.
