Remington Arms allowed to be sued by Sandy Hook victims

[D. Hargrove]

I am stranding ready to file a Class Action Lawsuit on behalf of any American Citizen that suffered the loss of anyone due to any manufactured product, cars, typewriters (used as a head smasher), tools, motorcycles, planes, helos, processed food, sex toys, clothing, any so on and so on....... <Sarcasm>

This already has happen, an Iditarod musher (Mitch Seavy (sp)) sue Oregon knife company and Sportsman's Warehouse for cutting himself with a knife that he careless used. I can't remember whatever became of the law sue. You can fix STUPID so, someone needs to pay for.

Well, if the Oregon knife company was Benchmade, maybe they deserved it.

Watch out every auto manufacturer and every pharmaceutical company known to man.

The decision says that the families may pursue one of their specific claims in the case: that Remington, the manufacturer of Bushmaster's version of the AR-15 rifle used during the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, knowingly marketed the gun for use by people to "carry out offensive, military style combat missions against their perceived enemies."

Maybe now we'll see more AR15 hunting ads from gun manufacturers.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the ad in question:

I don't know whether they have direct evidence that Adam Lanza saw this ad or that it in any way influenced his mother to purchase a Bushmaster, so I don't know whether their gambit has legal footing or not. If it does, and is ultimately successful, it will forever change the landscape of advertising for all types of products.

It is the proverbial “slippery slope”.

I am currently suing McDonalds for making me fat.

Gotta admit, the ad above, about the man card, strikes me as pretty juvenile and stupid. Not really helping things any.

It's probably the weed, bro

Very narrow scope. I'm predicting very little success.
