From here on out I stay away from Remington products.
You do not settle for something that was not your fault, thereby impugning, indirectly, the rest of the industry.
Not to mention Remington will invariably raise prices to cover
this loss.
That aside, I thought the weapon was his mother’s. You know the mother whom he killed to obtain the weapon?
To me, it seems the plaintiffs had an impossible case to prove to be able to win the case.
Not sure whats going on, but it doesn’t seem like 1+1=2 here.
How the hell do you prove something like that about a company that ships only to FFL holders?
You DO settle when you believe going through trial and getting a jury verdict of guilty, thereby potentially costing you 330 Million, or 3 billion, is a real possibility. Most of these big business decisions are that, strictly business decisions. So don’t get upset at the outcome!
WHICH Remington?
They went bust a couple years ago and were parted out.
I’d speculate they ‘settled’ since there weren’t any more assets to attach to.
Yep, no more Remington for me either. They should have fought this to the Supreme Court if necessary.
Same here. This just opens the door for further lawsuits of all sorts. Will auto makers now be responsible for drunk drivers?
