Connecticut Supreme Court Rules Sandy Hook Families Can Sue Gun Manufacturer
A Connecticut Supreme Court has ruled that gun maker Remington can be sued over how it marketed the Bushmaster rifle used to kill children and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.
Justices issued a 4-3 decision that reinstated a wrongful-death lawsuit and overturned a lower-court ruling that the lawsuit was prohibited by a 2005 federal law that shields gun manufacturers from liability in most cases when their products are used in crimes.
