'There’s nothing being done': The mother of one of 19 children killed in the school shooting in Uvalde, has filed a federal lawsuit against police, the school district and the maker of the gun used in the massacre.

FILE - Investigators search for evidences outside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, May 25, 2022, after an 18-year-old gunman killed 19 students and two teachers. – The last conversation Sandra Torres had with her 10-year-old daughter was about her nervous excitement over whether she’d make the all-star softball team.

Torres is being helped by the legal arm of the group Everytown for Gun Safety. Her suit also names the manufacturer of the AR-style semiautomatic rifle that Salvador Ramos used to fire more than 100 rounds in the horrific mass shooting. The new Uvalde suit alleges that marketing tactics by Daniel Defense violated the Federal Trade Commission Act by negligently using militaristic imagery, product placement in combat video games and social media to target “vulnerable and violent young men,” said Eric Tirschwell, executive director at Everytown Law.

“It would be an important step forward to holding gun manufacturers to account if their marketing crosses a line,” Tirschwell said.

I agree sue the school district, sue the local police dept, and sue the state!!! But going after the gun maker is stupid and all your doing is going after profit. So if you get hit by a Ford you can sue Ford motor company?

Only the police should get sued, suing the gun maker is just stupid.

Why sue the gunmaker? Gun worked just fine.

How about going after the parents make them pay. I bit more and more will raise a better child.

sammmi_gee Well they all voted for Greg Abbott what do you expect will happen? Not a damn thing… they had a chance to change policy

88% of Uvalde voted FOR Abbott. Kudos for them and Try as they might, if I was in that other 12% I would move somewhere else.

And Uvalde voted for Abbott who did and will do nothing about it. Sad.

Good for her. Hold them accountable.

Almost 11 million eligible lazy ass voters in Texas did NOT vote! How's that for not doing nothing! Shame on them!!!

She's right. Nothing being done. Our country cares more about guns than kids... and its sad. Absolutely sad.
