Families of nine victims who were killed and a teacher who survived the Dec. 14, 2012 massacre filed the lawsuit in January 2015 seeking to hold Remington Outdoor Co. liable, arguing it marketed the AR-15 to the public even though it knew the weapon was designed for military use.
Full story at the link
I’m so sick of all these purported “gun victims”. The same gun was used by the attacker and the defender in the Texas Church Massacre. The gun is irrelevant. The intentions of the person mean everything.
If the dead adults at Sandy Hook could have a do-over, I’d be they would have liked to face Adam Lanza with a gun of their own.
Can opener.
“This should be summarily dismissed due to the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. Once it has been demonstrated that Remington lawfully sold the firearm, the case is moot.”........
Exactly! Waste of tax payers money to even have to hear their lawsuit.
It is time the right utilize that tactic as well.
As I recall, Adam Lanza murdered his mother in order to obtain her AR-15. How can Remington be held liable for this murderer obtaining his firearm through the commission of a crime?
In November 2015 in Paris, terrorists killed 130 using fully automatic M70s and AK-47s. Doubt anyone can buy these in any French gun store.
Not sure what banning "ugly" rifles is supposed to do do. (Except for incrementalism -- "Okay, that didn't work. What can we ban next?")
If Nancy Lanza had survived - she should have been the one to sue.
Correct as this is Connecticut a place where they passed unconstitutional gun laws around 1AM in the morning with out any public input
Well, Adam Lanza's mother also filled out a 4473 and passed a NICS check before buying the AR. Should the FBI be sued for allowing the sale of a military grade firearm to go through, when they easily could have stopped the transaction?
Also Boots? Clothing? Hats?
There are plenty of items that were designed for military use that are now marketed to & sold to the public.
These lawyers are fleecing these people.
If it even mattered, which it doesn’t, the only question that needs to be asked is “what branch of the U.S. military uses the AR-15?”

BTW - I have several military grade P38s, will they come after that too?
Yes, but do you have the latest semi-auto electric model?
LOL.
5.56mm
In 2011 in Norway, Anders Behring Breivik killed 77, including 69 who he shot using a Ruger Ranch Rifle.
Well, just to be clear here, the Ruger Ranch Rifle IS a AR-15, just in sheep’s clothing.
And in point of fact, it’s NOT the military looking. It’s a military-ish style, looking, semi auto, like 15 bazillion other models, and in a souped up .22 at that. Such ignorant kvetching. Being military-ish style, looking, doesn’t make it a military weapon, no matter HOW ignorant the leftist hoplophobes are. And then on top of THAT, add the fact that the 2A actually is there to protect our right to own military weapons (see common sense and Miller).
They will lose and the courts will order them to pay the defendants’ lawyer fees and they will cry how unfair it is. Just like the Aurora movie theater shooting.
Just like Aurora, where several families were advised that the gun store sold the firearm legally and they would be unlikely to win, a few families insisted on pursuing the case and ended up owing the defendants $711,000 in lawyers’ fees.
Did Remington Outdoor Co. even own Bushmaster at the time the rifle was sold?
