Sandy Hook Lawsuit against Remington Arms Allowed to Move Forward

Sandy Hook Lawsuit Allowed to Move Forward

Connecticut Superior Court Judge Barbara N Bellis ruled Thursday that "a lawsuit can go forward against the maker of the rifle used in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings," rejecting the “argument that a 2005 federal law can protect gun businesses from civil lawsuits.”

Families of several children killed in the Newtown attack and one surviving teacher are suing Remington Arms, parent company of Bushmaster Firearms, who manufactured the weapon — a Bushmaster AR-15 — used by Adam Lanza in the school shooting.

According to The Washington Examiner, the basis of the families' suit is that "the military-style gun should have never been available for civilians to purchase."

Although lawyers for Remington Arms sought to dismiss the lawsuit, Bellis ruled that Remington's argument "that the federal law shields gun manufacturers from most lawsuits over criminal use of their products...would be best made in a motion later in the process and is not grounds to dismiss the lawsuit."

Another miserable piece of shit "judge" who does know her ass from a hole in the ground

What a stupid ruling. This nonsense will likely be overturned in a higher court.

Fat people will soon be suing fast food joints and eating utensil manufacturers

The law? That doesn't matter. It's all about The Feels.

Although this will make for great comedy when the Appellate Courts smack that judge down hard with a ruling that will amount to "read the fucking law you moron."

 

[JakeStarkey]

Congress was within its legal right to pass such a law to protect gun companies, right or wrong.

 

[The Irish Ram]

If this prevails, it will bankrupt the gun manufactures. It is the perfect way for the Obama regime to implement gun control. It makes as much sense as suing Ford for being the car the drunk driver was driving when he hit you.

I am going to sue Chinette b/c their sturdy plates allow me heap the food on. So dumb.

What a stupid ruling. This nonsense will likely be overturned in a higher court.

The Connecticut Supreme Court has ruled that the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 7901 through 7903" is Constitutional . So I fail to see the reason the scumbag "judge" is going to force Remington Arms to waste money defending itself.

Remington will appeal and win.
This is obviously a liberal judge with an ideological ax to grind

If they're smart they'll go after the plaintiffs for a frivolous suit and demand their costs.

That has already been tried.

When this case does get thrown out, by a judge who will actually do his job and uphold the law, I hope that Remington brings a successful lawsuit against this corrupt, lawless judge, seeking full compensation for all the costs imposed on Remington as a result of this blatant malfeasance.

Concur.


They should be suing the sons of bitches who made Sandy Hook Elementary a GUN FREE ZONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is how the left will proceed in their quest to rid the world of guns.

I agree, it will never make it to trial, and then Remington should go after the plaintiffs and the lawyer for their costs.
