The show deals primarily with children in possession of guns. Today in Part Two of our series on kids and guns, I'm going to introduce you to some of the 214 million guns that are responsible for bringing our sons and daughters right here. And I'm hoping that the pain and suffering that you're going to see today will convince you that gun violence really is everybody's problem . Part II of the series deals primarily with different types of guns and bullets and their sale. Talley seeks to recover under theories of breach of contract, quasi contract, unjust enrichment and misappropriation.
Misappropriation involves the taking of a property right.
An idea may be a property right. However, when a claim arises from an alleged contract to use an idea, the question is not whether the buyer misappropriated property from the seller, but whether the idea had value to the buyer and thus constitutes valid consideration. A plaintiff must, of course, still show that the defendant did, in fact, use the idea which is the subject of the suit. As to Talley's claim of misappropriation, he has shown neither that his idea was new or novel, nor that his program was, in fact, used by the defendants. The harm done by guns and their accessibility in our society is not a new or novel concept.
