HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The families of some of the victims killed in the 2012 Newtown school shooting are trying to reinstate their wrongful-death lawsuit against the company that made the rifle used in the massacre.

Lawyers for a survivor and relatives of nine who died filed papers Tuesday asking the state Supreme Court to hear their appeal.

Their timing for an appeal will cause them to fail. Again.

Does this mean we can sue car manufacturers if a crazy person uses his car to run over people?

This suit will be filed just before they also file the law suit against the pharmaceutical company that made the meds that gave this loser homicidal and suicidal thoughts. Oh, wait...nevermind. We aren’t allowed to pursue facts.

All the talk of ‘closure’ goes out the window when politics and a payoff are involved.

A firearm functioned exactly as intended and designed, albeit in a tragically unlawful manner. What might be ‘wrongful’ about that?

They have a ton of money to waste. I say, let them spend it how they want. Lucky lawyers.

I always wondered that....

Not a conspiracy theorists or anything

But with the limited pictures for the Sandy Hook school that have been released publically, the school looked like it was under serious maintenance, not a school that was in session. Generally the books, desks, tables, chairs are pushed into corners or hallways when the janitorial staff is shampooing or waxing the floors. Tons of furniture was stacked in hallways, does not fit in the whole narrative that this was an active school. Even locals have commented that the school was shut down years ago.....

Things don’t add up

"They have a ton of money to waste. I say, let them spend it how they want. Lucky lawyers."

I'm sure the lawyers took this on a contingency basis, hoping they could squeeze out some kind of sympathy settlement. They are the ones that will take the hit when the case continues to go belly up.

That lawsuit makes as little sense as suing Chrysler (or GM, or whatever) for making the car he drove and Nike/Adidas for making the shoes he wore. The companies did not murder children, an insane democrat murdered those children.

There suit is illegal and has no chance of success. They are liable for all the court costs. That is established black letter law and any lawyer who participates in this crime needs to be disbarred.
