Good News, Sandy hook families’ lawsuit against Remington Arms is dismissed

[RTF]

This is good news.

It should of never been entertained in any litigation, except for a judicial activist judge that let the case go forward contrary to black letter law which was made so under the Bush administration. Oh well, plaintiffs trying to sue gun manufacturers continues down the path of failure. I do not know of any case where the plaintiffs prevailed. Although, gun companies have spent a lot of money defending themselves in these frivolous lawsuits.

And now they should counter-sue for reparations and damages to their rep. Pile it on. Make the SandyHookers pay.

Don't pull any punches 'cause they are a "hurt community and didn't know what they were doing" - fuck em, they knew exactly what they were doing.

The only way to stop this shit is to make an example out of them

If yous' guys let Clinton get elected then her (soon to be) liberal SCOTUS will affirm the legality of lawsuits against firearm manufacturers for 'wrongful death'.

At the debate, that was one of the things she specifically stated she would do to make us safer - allow gun manufacturers to be sued.

This is Great news! Thank you Judge Bellis for following the law!!

"State Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis granted a motion by Remington Arms to strike the lawsuit."

Judge Barbara Bellis will come under heavy attack by the anti gun idiots!

She knows this would drive gun makers out of doing business in the U.S. For foreign manufacturers, their U.S. subsidiaries, and distributors would be sued, so they wouldn't sell here either.

"An eventual appeal would continue to pile up attorney’s fees and court costs. Under the PLCAA, however, unsuccessful plaintiffs are liable for court costs and legal fees of the defendants. That’s something those who pursued a similar action after the Aurora cinema shooting discovered the hard way."

That will be the next BIG story from the anti's crying about having to pay the legal bill for Remington Arms!
When in reality they should be angry with the lawyers bringing a unwinnable case!

For this lawsuit to be successful, the firearm would have to be proven defective from the manufacturing process, and this defect caused bodily injury or death.

The defect laid elsewhere, which should be the target of the lawsuit. IANAL.

For this lawsuit to be successful, the firearm would have to be proven defective from the manufacturing process, and this defect caused bodily injury or death.

Yet under the present lawsuit, the plaintiffs laid claim to "negligent entrustment" arguing the maker knowingly marketed and sold the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle to civilians despite knowing it posed a risk when used outside “highly regulated institutions” such as law enforcement or the military. Any appeal would have to be based on that claim alone.

The problem there is/was twofold - first, the AR-15 has always been a "civilian" rifle design (the M-16 was based on the AR-15), and second, none of the defendants "entrusted" the rifle to the shooter - he killed the rifle's lawful owner, stole her rifle, and went on to commit multiple crimes with it.

Facts, and laws don't mean anything to these gun grabbers. They will bring these law suits in the hope of getting an ultra progressive judge that will ignore the law, and facts. It won't stop as they will get Bloomberg or Soros money to fund them.
