The lawsuit alleges that Remington and the other defendants “unethically, oppressively, immorally and unscrupulously marketed and promoted the assaultive qualities and military uses of AR-15s to civilian purchasers.”
A story today from stamfordadvocate.com:
BRIDGEPORT – In a legal shot heard around the nation, a Superior Courtjudge ruled Thursday that a lawsuit by the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School victims can proceed against the manufacturer of the military-style rifle used to kill 20 first graders and six adults in December, 2012.
Judge Barbara Bellis said that the federal law shielding gun makers from liability does not override the “legal sufficiency” of the claims by the Sandy Hook families that the Bushmaster XM-15 rifle should never have been made available for sale to civilians.
