Supreme Court clears way allowing a suit to be brought against Remington for Sandy Hook shootings.
Folks have to keep a clear mind about the particular liability the Supreme Court said was fair game for litigation.
The decision effectively upheld a standard such firearms manufacturers are liable for their advertising practices which allegedly target under-aged persons who could not legally purchase their products. This is much akin to the suits of yesteryear against cigarette/tobacco companies, prohibiting youth targeted advertising. This significantly limits the expanse of reach for potential lawsuits which are “allowed” under this Decision - a much shallower victory than Liberals are celebrating, or Conservatives are lamenting.
