Remington can be sued over Sandy Hook......

I still don's how that gets around what Congress passed Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. Was not SCOTUS decision as I had thought. I don't know if the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act makes the CT decision ultimately moot or not, but something already exists to protect firearms manufactures from such ridiculous law suits.

What can we do to prevent such tragedy is a logical consideration. We do the same thing with auto accidents. But stopping them all together is not logical. We accept there will be auto accidents including fatalities and banning automobiles never even enters the discussion. The same logic applies to all acts of violence no matter the weapon used.

That's already on the horizon, when places are banning extra large sodas, etc, and articles like:

And now:

That's all coming too...remember "no one needs to go above 100mph" will be the mantra

Next there will be calls to ban voicing apposing views with a socialist...wait there already is, they call it hate speech.

I thought in addition to selling a gun to someone that they know is dangerous (for sellers), there was also a cut out for guns marketing, which could extend to a manufacturer.

Of course, there is the Lucky Gunner case from the Aurora shooting, where they plantings lost and owed money to Lucky.

Frankly, the gun grabbers push the families into the suits to highlight the lawsuit ban and having to pay lawyers fees is like being charged for your kid to be killed- all to get the law overturned. I’d be much happier if SCOTUS found that even with out the law, you can’t blame a manufacturer for a small fraction of a percent of their product that gets used in a crime.

You need to sue Budweiser, too, since they market their beer to people who drink.

Really... How could they advertise such a product to impressionable young people on the premise of what a good time you'll have, and simply get away with it with the "Please drink responsibly" tagline when alkyhawl is to blame for so much violence, loss of life, and general stupidity?
I've never understood that.
Can we just roll with that slogan for everything then, since it apparently absolves that product of all guilt?

Truthfully, I really don’t think the U.S. will be around in 30 years, and maybe not in 10.

This was nothing more than a political stunt that allows CT's activist judges to voice their opinion. PLCAA tosses this one the moment Remington appeals the CT verdict. EVEN IF this one did go to trial, the perpetrator stole the rifle from the purchaser. If they would like to argue that the original purchaser, a middle aged woman in Connecticut, is the target of their "high risk" advertising, I'd love to hear the double speak they need to use to draw that connection.

The families’ goal has always been to shed light on Remington’s calculated and profit-driven strategy to expand the AR-15 market and court high-risk users, all at the expense of Americans’ safety.

A company is working to make a profit on the product they sell (the most POPULAR RIFLE FORMAT IN THE COUNTRY) and expand their marketshare in a crowded space. Shock and horror...

I understand that these families are hurting. A pain that will never go away. This does nothing to help that and nothing to prevent future pain. It's a pathetic cash grab and an attempt to make an end run around established law.

Please, expound upon this one. Cast your pearls before the swine...

The U.S. is definitely not the same U.S. that it was. The demographics have and continue to change dramatically. The population has increased dramatically, education has shifted to socialist indoctrination, and technology/social media has and continues to have dramatic affects. Walmarts customer base looks more like zombies than actual real people/human beings.
So the U.S. might still be around but not like it was. The U.S. I grew up in is already long gone.
