Sandy Hook Families' Suit Against Gun Maker Goes to Supreme Court on Nov. 14
The state Supreme Court will hear arguments on Nov. 14 in the closely watched case involving the families of victims of the Sandy Hook massacre who are suing the gun manufacturer that makes the weapon used in the shootings.

The families of 10 victims filed the lawsuit in January 2015, seeking to hold the Remington Outdoor Co. liable for the massacre because it marketed a gun to the public it knew was made for military use.
The families’ attorneys are hoping a case involving a slingshot injury in Michigan will help them prove that one of the largest gun manufacturers in the world negligently entrusted the AR-15 to Lanza, even though he didn't actually purchase it, and help them overcome PLCAA’s strict language favoring the gun manufacturers.

The case in Michigan was a 1977 lawsuit by the family of a 12-year-old against a company that manufactured slingshots. The boy was injured when he was struck in the eye by a pellet fired from a slingshot that ricocheted off a tree. The court allowed the case to go before a jury, ruling that the company entrusted the slingshot to a class of people, in this case younger children, that made the ultimate accident foreseeable.

I really hope this opens up suits against Ford the next time someone drives drunk and kills people

Agaisnt Starbucks for putting too much sugar in their drinks and causing diabetes

Against McDonald's for eating too much unhealthy food and giving people heart disease

Etc.

My prediction: This case is thrown out.

The Court will understand the ramifications to our economy if they allow this.

Everyone will sue every type of company every manufacturer, our economy and our way of life will be destroyed.

Auto makers will be devistated, Beer companies will be put out of business. Our dollar and manufactures will be destroyed.

Again, this goes no where!

You would thinks so but after the SCOTUS ruling on the Obummercare mandate, sane votes from Roberts or Kennedy are forevermore in doubt.

Roberts may return to his constitutional roots now that the Blackmailer in Chief is a 'thing' of the past. But, screw him, his damage has been done and he should resign.

What the hell are the republicans doing? Send all AWBs to SCOTUS pronto. Declare them unconstitition. If any state fail to follow the law, federalize the national guards and remove the now-felon puppets from power. Airdrop magazines over the state with propaganda leaflets.

I wonder if they ever got paid?

Very misleading title... Click bait!

Is NOT the Supreme Court of the United States! Is a State case...

Ultimately, nothing will come of this, it will be dismissed/thrown out! Otherwise products and salesman from fried chicken to cars, alcohol, etc., will all be liable and there's plenty of precedent against it, primarily the tobacco industry!

The lawsuit is being financed by some people with nothing to do with their money but keep the peasants distracted!

I agree but you’re assuming the republicans don’t want control efforts by the dems. It’s a huge fundraising issue and forces people to make a decision every four years. Re-elect me (even if I’m a shitty conservative) or you’ll end up worse off with some gun grabbing liberal. Look at that POS Paul Ryan as an example - he’d give up your gun rights in a heartbeat to get re-elected.

AND POS McCain!!

 

[STS556]

The gun used was a semi auto and not made for military use. The whole grounds of the case is misleading.

 

[Grimscale]

^^^^^
This right here.
This is an AR15. A semi-auto sporting rifle. It is NOT "made for military use".
on top of that, they did not entrust it to Lanza. They didn't even entrust it to Lanza's mom, whom he killed to get access to it. They entrusted it to the gun shop.

How is this lawsuit even still moving around?
