Some of you guys are crazy to a degree. Suppose, a guy has his rifle pointed at the ground when it goes off unexpectedly. He is handling it safely and exercising muzzle control. However, when it goes off, the bullet strikes a rock on the ground and ricochets into his hunting buddy and kills him. Was he negligent? No, of course not.
The same thing could happen with it pointed in the air. The gun goes off and the bullet kills granny sitting in her rocker on her porch two miles away. Was the guy negligent. No, of course not.
The fact is, a rifle is supposed to go off only when the trigger is pulled. If Remington knew that there was a possibility that some of their rifles could go off occasionally with no pull of the trigger and did nothing to address it, then they deserve to be popped.
