The Connecticut Supreme Court on Thursday said a lawsuit challenging how Remington marketed the rifle used in the December 2012 Newtown school shooting can proceed, overturning a lower court’s outright dismissal of the case.
In a 4-3 opinion, the court narrowly ruled that families of victims of the Newtown school shooting can challenge whether Remington violated trade practices in how it marketed the AR-15-style rifle used in the shooting.
“The regulation of advertising that threatens the public’s health, safety, and morals has long been considered a core exercise of the states’ police powers,” Justice Richard Palmer wrote for the majority.
The case had been closely watched by advocates on both sides of the gun issue.
It marks another case involving a 2005 federal law that generally shields gun makers and manufacturers from liability for crimes committed involving their products. Courts have dismissed other similar wrongful death lawsuits on those grounds.

Yep, that's their plan. AOC hinted at this during the hearings Tuesday.
[[What if someone uses a Louisville Slugger? Or a Gillette razor?]]
Or a “My Pillow”
If he ran over them with a car would they sue the makers of the tires? guns are basically tools. Tools can be used wrongly and it doesn’t make the toolmaker responsible. So, sue all they want, they won’t win.
The regulation of advertising that threatens the public’s health, safety, and morals has long been considered a core exercise of the states’ police powers,”
It’d be nice to ask Judge Palmer how exactly it did that. I doubt we’d get anything other than gibberish from such a learned and wise man.
If I die from the complications of diabetes I’ve instructed my heirs to sue the manufacturer of the cutlery I used to shovel all that ice cream into my big mouth.
Magnum44, you’re probably right, but in the end those families will be like everyone else the Left throws in the public eye, Used and Abused. And when the music stops and they want answers, no one is going to return their phone calls.
“She’s an idiot.”
She’s an idiot all right, but a charismatic and dangerous one. There is nothing she can say that will be so outrageous as to make her show shame or remorse afterward. She’s full bore on, full enthusiasm, zero self-doubt, all the time..
When she was newly elected, she was mostly laughed at. Now she’s in the news every day. Sure, she’s programmed by that Indian guy behind the curtain, but she’s also got the major energizer bunny battery inside, and many just eat that up.
What a bunch of crap! Next stop the Supremes.
Please address the issue, if you know what it is ...
A frail older person, a pillow and a greedy child can make for a dangerous combination!
I’ve seen it in movies a bunch of times :)
What happens when a hollywood movie depicting criminal use of a firearm causes a mentally unstable person to kill using a firearm? Hollywood is promoting criminal use of firearms no firearms manufacturer intends in ant way.
Are you telling me this DOESN'T mean I'm allowed to drive up to 120 mph wherever I want to?
:-P
Well it doesn’t make sense!!
My Dodge Challenger goes to 140 I think.
Why show us that if it’s not to ever be touched?!?!?
“The regulation of advertising that threatens the public’s health, safety, and morals...”
I must have missed that Remington ad that their rifle was the best for school shootings by the mentally ill.
Paging John Hinckley....
I think they wanted people to buy their rifles, rather than kill someone that already had one and steal it.
a totally unconstitutional and illegal ruling
that will just be overturned anyway
what matters is not this POS ruling,
what matters is to recall or impeach, remove these POS “judges” who are perverting our Constitution and dragging our system of justice in the sewer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“That would have been good to see, and where the advertising was..”
Where ever the advertising was, it wasn’t where the retard that stole the gun would see it.
Sounds like they just opened the door to BAN ALL Rap Music, Most of Hollywood Productions and ALL Human Sexuality Teachings that are not exclusive to One man and One Woman....
