Gun-maker asks US Supreme Court to hear Sandy Hook appeal
HARTFORD, Conn. — The maker of the rifle used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear its appeal Thursday of a state ruling against the company.

Remington Arms, based in Madison, North Carolina, cited a much-debated 2005 federal law that shields firearms manufacturers from liability in most cases when their products are used in crimes.

That's the only way to stop this bullshit. The next person that gets injured in a car crash should sue the auto manufacturer. The next drunk driving victim should sue the parent company of whatever alcohol was consumed by the driver.

Absolutely correct. No different. Sue everyone if this goes through. Hell I’d even take it so far as to sue the state and the insurance company that gave insurance and a driver license to the drunk driver that hit me.

AND,... the next time there is a shooting in a gun free zone (Biden's creation back in 1994 BTW, as I recall), everybody needs to sue EVERY politician, as well as the business, or other entity responsible for requiring the gun free zone BS.

I've been waiting for someone to cash in BIG by suing NY if they get hit by a drunk driver. Nobody gets locked up anymore. They release them for a later court date and while they're waiting a lot of them drive drunk again.

Bush administration passed law back in the day to protect the manufacture of MTB to protect them from being sued. The base was once someone else has the product manufacture can not be held responsible.

Yep my cousin and my uncle are great examples of that. My uncle spent weekends in jail and did t learn then spent 18 months in jail for. Felony conviction. My uncle did the boot camp thing and never touched another drink again in his life and it’s been 10-15 years.
My cousin, not related to my formerly drunk uncle, they won’t even give her her drivers license back and it’s been years. She had like 6 dwi’s And a few drug convictions. She hasn’t had a license in 8-10 years now.

Which to me was weird because this protection already was available under existing product liability law.

The difference was the MTB manufacture knew the consequences of there product even if stored properly.
