"Connecticut’s Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the manufacturer of the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle can be sued and potentially held liable in the 2012 mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
The groundbreaking 4-to-3 decision overturned a lower-court ruling barring the lawsuit, which was brought by the estates of nine victims of Adam Lanza, who was armed with the high-powered rifle during his assault on the school. Remington owns Bushmaster Firearms International.
But the decision was narrow, with the liability for gunmakers based essentially on how they advertise their weapons, rather than on the sale of such powerful weapons to third parties who then commit horrible crimes. The court said companies that market military-style guns to civilians as a way of killing enemies could be violating state fair trade laws." WP
