The suit claims that the "sicko" chose the gun to use based on the way that Remington marketed their product. His mother had an arsenal apparently, and he picked the Bushmaster because Remington said it was designed to take down a lot of people.
It would seem to me that he picked that particular weapon because that's the one his mother had in her gun cabinet........ he didn't purchase the weapon so him choosing it was not due to it being marketed to him.

LOL. I don’t think Remington said that but how is that a lie?
No, it cannot. When SCOTUS declines to hear a case it sets no precedent that can be used in other cases and it does not affect the law as it is written. It just means they won't overturn the lower court's decision.
In any event this is not "anti-gun". Responsible marketing has always been grounds for a law suit for any product except guns. This allows the manufacturer to be sued for irresponsible marketing.
Yup. The reason this was allowed to go through the CT Supreme Court was because this was about advertising, not firearm rights.
The idea that laws will be overturned because the SC won't hear them is ridiculous and shows a complete lack of knowledge regarding civics.
Hate to burst your liberal bubbles so eager to give up your Natural Rights, but this does nothing to change anything. The Second Amendment is an INDIVIDUAL RIGHT not tied to Militias and it is specifically prohibited by law to sue gun manufacturers or the act of PEOPLE committing crimes with guns.
Then explain if the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with militias, just why does the first part of it go, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..." So what's the matter? Were the writers of the U. S. Constitution just too liberal for you?

It has been explained to you countless times........... the militia IS the people. Each individual. Well regulated in the vernacular of the day meant "in good working order." When the militia was called up each individual was expected to bring his own firearm and ammunition. The weapons were not kept in an armory and distributed.......... therefore it is an individual right.
Only if Obama knew it to be a false statement, and all indications are that he didn't know that. But probably not even them since public officials are largely immune from liability while in office.
SCOTUS allows Sandy Hood families to sue Remington
i don't agree. i guess we'll see what happens.
it's not like Remington is on great financial footing as it is..
Quote:
The Supreme Court refused Tuesday to shield a major arms manufacturer from potential liability in the 2012 school shooting that left 26 students and educators dead in Newtown, Conn.
The justices' action allows a lawsuit filed by parents of Sandy Hook Elementary School victims to move forward at the state level, on the allegation that Remington Arms marketed the military-style rifle used in the mass shooting "for use in assaults against human beings."
The case tests the reach of a 2005 law passed by Congress to protect firearms manufacturers from being held liable for crimes committed by gun purchasers. That law was hailed by the National Rifle Association, but it included exceptions, including one for violating rules related to marketing and advertising.
