Gun maker Remington can be sued over Newtown shooting, cour

[WLJ]

Could open the floodgates to every gun manufacturer being harassed out of existence.
Bear in mind this coming from the Connecticut Supreme Court and not a fed court.
Be interesting to see how the feds respond because this flies in the face of The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act

It's only going to get worse.

Oh yeah. It's only a matter of time before either we have another civil war or the liberals form their own little paradise free from the bounds of the Constitution and bill of rights.

They've been probing for a way to get around The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act to keep the gun companies constantly fighting lawsuits. Even if they lose them all the end game is to make it financially ruinous for the gun companies to stay in business while at the same time fighting endless lawsuits and to do that all they need is a legal loophole to keep them rolling in

Remember in this case they're not going after Remington for selling the rifle but in the way it was advertised.

The court agreed with the lower court judge’s decision to dismiss claims that directly challenged the federal law shielding the gun companies from litigation, but found the case can move forward based on a state law regarding unfair trade practices.

Justices wrote in the majority opinion that “it falls to a jury to decide whether the promotional schemes alleged in the present case rise to the level of illegal trade practices and whether fault for the tragedy can be laid at their feet.”…

That sentiment has never been so clear as in an advertisement for the .223-calibre semiautomatic Bushmaster rifle — the gun that 20-year-old Adam Lanza used to murder 27 people, and the civilian version of the assault rifle our troops have used in Afghanistan and Iraq. This morning author and activist Jessica Valenti tweeted an image of the ad:

The tagline reads “Consider Your Man Card Reissued.” In a press release for the marketing campaign, distributed in 2010, Bushmaster Firearms explained how one becomes a “card-carrying man”:

Which is ridiculous on many levels. First off, it was a bushmaster ad, and they are going after Remington. Second, he didn’t see an ad, go buy a gun and then kill people. He killed his own mother and stole the gun from her. Third, F Off with your “toxic masculinity” BS

Bushmaster was sold to Cerberus Capital Management in 2006 and is under the Remington company umbrella.

Cerberus Capital Management --> Freedom Group (Now Remington Outdoor) --> Remington --> Bushmaster
