HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut judge has dismissed a lawsuit by Newtown families against the maker of the rifle used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, saying federal law shields gun manufacturers from most lawsuits over criminal use of their products.

Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis on Friday granted a motion by Madison, North Carolina-based Remington Arms to strike the lawsuit by the families of nine children and adults killed and a teacher who survived the 2012 attack. A gunman killed 20 children and six adults at the school with an AR-15-style rifle.

Said weapon was purchased legally by a mother, who ignored the signs that her son was unstable, and allowed him access to the firearm.

Have they tried the markers of the .44 cal Pocket Derringer that J.W. Booth used to kill president Lincoln?

What a$$holes. Would they sue Ford if one of their cars hit them?

Thanks for the PING - Waterbury real estate is still depressed - if I could unload my house I'd be off to Red-state country tomorrow.

It's a sin what the Libtards have done to this state.

It was an illegal suit to begin with. It violated the PLCAA.

Judge should have told them that “common sense shields Remington from these ridiculous lawsuits.”
This is the cultural stuff that Trump should hit on. Call it a southpark strategy. Point out the dumb stuff like suing gunmakers, alcohol companies, safe zones for 20 year olds, pop tarts shaped like guns, kids getting suspended for pointing a finger, the sorry state of how we teach kids to deal with bullies, the hate america mentality of liberals....I’d make commercials full of hysterical liberal Hillary fans, making the dumbest comments and ask America if this is the kind of country we want. Is this how we make America strong and great again??
Show America what liberal democrats are....soft, lazy, scared little pansy asses.

Yes; I repeat, it should not have gone this far.

Here in Connecticut, we take any victory, small though, it may be.

The actors split the millions in donations up nicely even to those who weren’t harmed (supposedly harmed).

I especially liked that Swiss (or Spain?) embassy worker who couldn’t remember on her FB posts and interviews which of her sons had been “killed.” The older, the younger, the older, the...

Or better yet that the fire chief’s family. His ex wife just happened to be the school secretary who called in the 911 but didn’t come out when the school was “evacuated.” Odd the chief, who was overheard on the 911 tapes to hush about it being a drill, wasn’t concerned about the mother of his children. She and the nurse just happened to be “hiding” in the office closet of the very office the police were headquartered. Not a peep out of either woman for hours, hmm. Funny how the msm never mentioned their son just happened to be the FEMA Emergency Management Analyst for the operation. Yeppers, I found that little tidbit plain as day right on FEMA’s website. Oops, FEMA should have been more careful what they put on their site.

I hope you like kooky youtube videos, because that’s all you’re going to get.
