So people can't sue McDonald's for being obese, but a gun company can be sued for making a gun because of advertising? McDonald's advertises clogging your arteries as delicious. I don't recall gun company's advertising shooting people.

I'm suing huster for my carpal tunnel syndrome bushmaster ar15 fuckliberals

Dumbest thing ever

What a joke. 2A

2nd A Folks: RTFA before adding your clever 'Hurr, sue for knife cut!' The lawsuit was about marketing Consider: Ford puts out ads that their truck has the smoothest ride when running someone down Now: How crazy does it seem that Ford is liable when someone tests that theory?

I cut my finger with a knife. Who do I sue?

Uh oh. Somebody is about to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Will decide that Remington will need to put a label on their rifles “warning the contents of this gun can kill”. Kind of like McDonald’s had to do with the hot coffee warning.

What a stupid precedent. I guess anyone ever beaten by a Louisville can now sue Wilson? 🤔

😂😂😂😂😂Just wait.

Stupid decision.and obviously stupjd judge. Next we have car manufacturers held bc of drunk drivers,list goes on.. how repulsive for anyone to think this is a victory for anyone.

Off to SCOTUS we go. This joke of a ruling won’t stand. This would set precedent for holding every manufacturer of anything that could be misused accountable.

this should be resolved scotus 2A

Disgusting

Connecticut Supreme Court rules gunmaker can be sued over Sandy Hook shootingGun maker Remington can be sued over how it marketed the Bushmaster rifle used to kill 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, a divided Connecticut Supreme Court ruled Thursday.

Federal law protects gun manufacturers, so why did court allow Sandy Hook lawsuit against Remington to go forward?“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.” Because Dems are off their rockers Our courts are controlled by liberal judges. Because federal law doesn't say anything that protects gun manufacturers from state level wrongful marketing laws.
