Supreme Court To Weigh Taking Up Case Against Gun Industry | |||
| Posted November 6th, 2019 09:56 am | |||
AMGOA Staff The Supreme Court will consider this week whether to hear a case seeking to pierce firearm manufacturers' legal immunity in the aftermath of shootings. The case, Remington Arms Co. v. Soto, pits relatives of those killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting against Remington, the maker of the AR-15-style rifle used in the Dec. 14, 2012, massacre in Newtown, Conn. Twenty first graders and six educators died. The lawsuit challenges a 2005 law protecting gun makers from legal liability when their weapons are used in crimes. The families argue that Remington violated Connecticut's Unfair Trade Practices Act by recklessly marketing the rifle to disturbed young men like the Sandy Hook gunman through product placement in violent video games and advertising pitches like "consider your man card reissued." https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/05/us/politics/supreme-court-remington-sandy-hook.html |
