McDaniel Sued Remington Despite His Denials!

The Arkfam blog has broken the story that Democratic Attorney General Candidate Dustin McDaniel personally sued gun manufacturer Remington arms. McDaniel has always denied suing Remington, claiming that his father was the one involved in that case. The case is political dynamite in a state that cherishes gun rights as much as Arkansas.

McDaniel is opposed in November by former State Senator Gunner DeLay. View the documents on DeLay's website. Scroll down to the next to last and last pages to see that Dustin McDaniel himself was involved in the lawsuit against Remington Arms.

In this newspaper article convincing evidence is presented that McDaniel was the lead attorney in the lawsuit. His contention in the suit was that a gun owner can be held liable for what is done with their guns even after those guns have been stolen from them. Remington was sued because they should have provided trigger locks or some other such nonsense. The contentions that McDaniel made in the lawsuit are so alien to the thinking of most Arkansans as to seem downright nutty. It cannot be overstated how bad this is for McDaniel, especially since he spent the whole primary election claiming he was not involved in the suit, but only did reasearch for other attorneys.

This could be titanic. The two worst problems a politician can have around here are problems on Guns and problems on trust and integrity. It appears that Mr. McDaniel now has both problems.
