9er, I've made a whole lot of money off the idea that 12 (or sometimes 16) folks decide what's reasonable and what's not. You know what's not? Apparently having your semi-truck at a dead stop at a light and have some drunks rear-end you, killing 2 and leaving one as a quadripligic. What did the truck driver do wrong? Nothing. Who pays? The truck driver (or actually, his insurance company).
Realistically, plantiff attorneys look for deep pockets. If you don't have any, or don't have a lot of insurance, you're not worth their time. On the other hand, if you do, you're going to have to prove to someone that knows nothing about guns what is or isn't reasonable.
Sorry to bring the Real World Rain on your parade, but that's just the way America works.
