The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled that Remington can be sued over the way it marketed similar weapons to the one used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting.<\/p>\n

This case is like similar cases across the country, which had been ruled against. The justification, for ruling against similar cases in other parts of the country, involved federal law. A thrust, for the plaintiffs in this case, was an argument regarding Remington’s marketing methods, to include who they targeted for marketing.<\/p>\n

Not much emphasis on the circumstances that led to the shooter’s decision, and ability, to commit the act.<\/p>\n

From The Associated Press:<\/span><\/p>\n

Joshua Koskoff, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, has said the Bushmaster rifle and other AR-15-style rifles were designed as military killing machines and should never have been sold to the public. He accuses Remington of targeting younger, at-risk males through “militaristic marketing and astute product placement in violent first-person shooter games.”<\/p>\n

“The families’ goal has always been to shed light on Remington’s calculated and profit-driven strategy to expand the AR-15 market and court high-risk users, all at the expense of Americans’ safety,” Koskoff said Thursday. “Today’s decision is a critical step toward achieving that goal.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The article seems to want to focus on the availability of legal weapons to those who should not have done, rather than on the decision of the shooter to use a firearm to do something he knew he wasn’t supposed to be doing.<\/p>\n
