Their lawyer vowed an immediate appeal of Friday&#8217;s ruling.<\/p>\n<p>The judge agreed with attorneys for Madison, North Carolina-based Remington that the lawsuit should be dismissed under the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which was passed by Congress in 2005 and shields gun makers from liability when their firearms are used in crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Advocates for gun control and against gun violence have criticized the law as special protection for gun makers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The people responsible for the murders are all dead &#8211; the shooter and his mother, the owner of the weapon &#8211; so this is nothing more than a scramble for the cash. The survivors are doing nothing more than the politicians did when they tried to use the tragic event as an excuse to punish legal gun owners. They are sullying the memory of the deceased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Associated Press reports that State Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis granted a motion by Remington &hellip; <a title=\"Judge dismisses lawsuit against Remington\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=68445\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Judge dismisses lawsuit against Remington<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=68445"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68445\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=68445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=68445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=68445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
