Something tells me you're not a lawyer.

Something tells me you're wrong and not a lawyer.

Does remindmebot exist on Lemmy? I'd be very interested in a friendly wager.

Loser has to post a pic in a silly shirt!

I don't know but I'm 3 for 3 on these.

Bet that Supreme Court would uphold ATF interpretation on bump stock ban. That appeals courts would find a violation of 1A where Trump and other political figures blocked constituents on social media. And I bet that Remington was going to be found liable in the Sandy Hook lawsuit on a theory not wholly dissimilar from the one we're talking about here. I'm pretty good at novel theories of liability.

What silly shirt will you wear?

Mine will say "I'm a T-Rex stuck in a woman's body"

I am not, in fact, a woman. It's a hoot.

Mine will say "Novel theories of civil liability are not my bag, baby!"

In fact they are.
