Supreme court ruled Newtown survivor victims can sue Remington Arms.

The Survivors have the right to sue the gun maker but they will not win IMO. IF I was the survivor of a car accident then I could sue the car maker.

I believe the case is currently being considered by a state supreme court and the SCOTUS chose not to step in at this point. So the lawsuit goes forward and if there is a ruling by the state supreme court, it can be appealed and the SCOTUS cam reconsider making a decision.
My understanding of the situation at least. Right. From what I read, the plaintiff claims Remington marketed its guns as human-killing machines. Sounds like a load of crap to me, but I guess a jury will decide that one. Unless Remington settles. Jim

Curious, why do they have a right to sue the gun maker? Because these days anyone can sue for anything. Doesn’t make it right. Doesn’t mean they’ll win. It just makes the lawyers some money and makes the people feel like they’ve done something. Remington will likely settle out of court to avoid the press but for reasons I’ll never understand.
I keep desperately hoping that one day someone will call me "Sir" without adding "please calm down" or "you're causing a scene."

I don't think Remington will want to open that can of worms. The interesting (to me) hook here is that the suit is a lot about marketing strategy. They're saying Remington marketed AR's to influence the younger crowd. They will stoop as low as possible and keep coming.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I suppose parents will eventually get around to suing drug companies for their child’s overdose. And parents will sue McDonalds for their kids' obesity.

I wonder if Coast to Coast is still in business. If so perhaps I can sue them for that nice buck I missed back in 1971 with one of their faulty 20 ga. shotguns. Wow walleye101, Coast to Coast 20ga was my first gun. Basically a Mossberg 500 private labeled. Shot lots of small game with that gun before passing it along to a neephew. Thanks for bringing back those memories! Dave
Forever in debt to my Father who introduced me to trapping. May I be half the man he was.
