Remington/Sandy Hook

[Geezer II]

Remington to pay Sandy Hook families 73 million - first time a gun manufacture held liable in a mass shooting .
This is bullshit I hope Remington can appeal this and win but I think they agreed IDK

So will this set the precedent for suing manufactures for malice use by consumer? Texting and driving accidents that result in death or injury (Sue apple, Verizon and Facebook)

Remington should have probably waited on that judgement before declaring bankruptcy.

 

[Geezer II]

Insurance companies footing the bill - remington has to release documents

On the side my first rifle was a Rem 22 bolt action - tube mag - bought at hardware store new $39

Well, that opens the doors for alcohol next….

 

[dante322]

It should also open a door for pharmaceutical companies to be held liable for people O.D.ing on pain killers

 

[Geezer II]

They got hooked on a state law. Had appeal to the Supreme Court who would not hear the case -- something fishy here

 

[Ohiosam]

And the lawyers for the families will get at least $25-30 million of that.

 

[Bigcountry40]

What kind of ammo was he using, the car he was driving, shoes he was wearing, etc, all these items enabled the shooting to happen

Or car manufacturers where high speed played a part in fatalities. I can hear it….”why would (insert auto manufacturer) make a car that goes 3 times the speed limit?
