Supreme Court Denies Remington's Sandy Hook Appeal

Summary from the AllSides News Team

The Supreme Court denied case review to Remington Arms Co., a gun manufacturer being sued by the families of the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting victims for "knowingly" advertising the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle for "military style" civilian use, in a decision Tuesday morning. A 2005 federal law prevents gun makers from being legally culpable for the illegal use of their products, but plaintiffs are reportedly suing for wrongful death under Connecticut advertising laws. While the decision does not place Remington at immediate liability, discovery in the lower court case will proceed.
