We need laws to actually protect normal working people, not corporations and execs. Trying to silence people with lawsuits should be punished according to the severity of what they're trying to hide.
Since their shitty gun literally kills people randomly, this harassment campaign should be treated as cover up for murder and punished accordingly.
- jedmeyers 1y ago> I still doubt they're gonna face any serious penalties Having to fix all P320 fire control units they've sold so far will put them out of business. You don't even need any additional penalties on top of that. I just hope they can spin off Optics division before that happens.

- mothballed 1y agoWouldn't someone buy their capital equipment and IP for pennies on the dollar if they went bankrupt though? So I don't know how much it would destabilize the economy, it would just shift around who runs the company. 'Sig' would cease to exist but 'this mass of capital that makes guns' and possibly even the employees, would still be around.
- martin-t 1y agoIn theory, yes. My guess is they would be bought by an already huge corporation, leading to even bigger monopolies. Does anybody here have an example of this happening? "Nobody knows" is kind of an indication how often this happens. My preferred alternative would be forced conversion to worker owned cooperative BTW.
