Sandy Hook parent's sued the gun maker....who did nothing wrong and played no role in the deaths of their children....it was emotional lashing out and it has been allowed to go through the court system because anti gunners hate guns and gun owners.....
The law suit was just thrown out....because of the Lawful Commerce in Arms Act which states that stupid law suits aimed at destroying a gun maker who commits no crime can't be brought forward....
Of course...this is the first thing the democrats will do to attack gun rights if they get power in November...
BREAKING: Frivolous Lawsuit Over Sandy Hook Deaths Dismissed
The frivolous lawsuit filed by a minority of Sandy Hook Elementary school parents against Bushmaster and Remington Arms has been dismissed.
A Superior Court judge has thrown out the lawsuit against the gun maker brought by the families of the Sandy Hook tragedy.
In a 54-page decision filed Friday afternoon, Judge Barbara Bellis granted a motion to strike the entire lawsuit brought against the gun maker,Remington Outdoor Company, the dealer, Camfour Inc. and the company that owned the gun store, Riverview Sales where A___ L___’*s mother bought the assault rifle.
The judge ruled the lawsuit does not satisfy the exception to federal law preventing lawsuits against gun manufacturers for the actions of gun owners under either the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) or the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUTPA).
“Although PLCAA provides a narrow exception under which plaintiffs may maintain an action for negligent entrustment of a firearm, the allegations in the present case do not fit within the common-law tort of negligent entrustment under well-established Connecticut law,” the judge wrote. “A plaintiff under CUTPA must allege some kind of consumer, competitor, or other commcercial relationship with a defendant, and the plaintiffs here have alleged no such relationship.”
We commented on the sad absurdity of this case back in February.
The exploitative lawsuit filed by Koshoff, Sterling, and Mesner-Hage is based on the theory of “negligent entrustment.” The plaintiff’s argument is that the Freedom Group, which owns Bushmaster Firearms, the manufacturer of the XM15-E2S, marketed their guns in such a way as to encourage violent crazy people to buy them. Of course, the Sandy Hook murderer didn’t buy the carbine he used in his attack. He murdered his own mother to gain access to it.
But hey, reality be damned; lawyers wanna get paid.
