WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday dealt a blow to the firearms industry, rejecting Remington Arms Co’s bid to escape a lawsuit by families of victims aiming to hold the gun maker liable for its marketing of the assault-style rifle used in the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre that killed 20 children and six adults.
The family members of nine people slain and one survivor of the Sandy Hook massacre filed the lawsuit in 2014. Remington was backed in the case by a number of gun rights groups and lobbying organizations including the powerful National Rifle Association, which is closely aligned with Republicans including President Donald Trump. The NRA called the lawsuit “company-killing.”
The U.S. Congress has not enacted new gun control laws in the wake of the mass shootings largely because of Republican opposition. Remington argued that it should be insulated from the lawsuit by a 2005 federal law known as the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which was aimed at blocking a wave of lawsuits damaging to the firearms industry.
TV One problem is that the shooter used 9mm Pistols, the AR15 was recovered from the trunk of his vehicle. How about getting the Autopsy report from the Coroner as to the Caliber of the rounds (bullets). But WTF let them sue, try and prove intent on Remington‘s part!
TV At some point in time BigBooze should be sued also. Drunk driving deaths and injuries, cirrhosis, domestic violence etc. SCOTUS is setting precedent by allowing this. Now you can sue an uninvolved party.

Zoe Lofgren write that President Trump's repeal of DACA was illegal, so this should be a straightforward case for the Supreme Court.
