There are about 800 ways the lawsuit is BS, one of the biggest being that the sandy hook shooter did not purchase the AR he allegedly used, he murder his mother and stole hers.

Automobile company's being sued for a drunk drivers choice in vehicles.

My understanding of the matter is it is the insurance company that is trying to settle.

This is a little-recognized problem with any insurance. The insurer can make a move that saves money et cetera, setting a precedent that puts the ensured in a losing position in other aspects of the case.

The court's declaring "should have known" could be applied to a lot of things, such as should have known the buyer of an 850 HP car would want to use the HP.

Wouldn't you !!!

No one needs 850 horsepower to hunt a deer. Or something like that.

Actually he didn't murder his mother. His DNA was not found on ANY of the ammo or weapons.
A felon (name redacted) from new york DNA was on the weapons and .22lr that killed his mother.

How did the marketing or whatever influence the shooter, when the gun was purchased and owned by his mother? Even acknowledged by anti-gun organization:

I have a pencil that misspelles words. I guess I can now sue the pencil maker. Big payday.

The fact the gun(s) belonged to the purchaser/mother does not necessarily cancel the kid's being inveigled by the Remington advertising style. So much so, he was willing to commit matricide to get it. Probably a simple case of might as well take the other guns while at it.
(Just trying to fathom the idiotic "reasoning").
