Families of Newtown shooting victims sue gunmaker, seller
Published December 15, 2014
| Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn. � A law firm representing the families of nine of the 26 people killed and a teacher injured at the Sandy Hook Elementary School says it has filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor and seller of the rifle used in the shooting.
The negligence and wrongful death lawsuit asserts that the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle should not have been made publicly available because it is a military weapon unsuited for civilian use.
In addition to Bushmaster, the families have named Camfour, a firearm distributor, and Riverview Gun Sales, the store where the Bushmaster rifle was purchased in 2010. Messages seeking comment from the defendants were not immediately returned.
The 40-page complaint was filed in superior court in Bridgeport.

They may as well go after his teachers, the school he attended and the doctors that treated him as well as the drug manufacturer and pharmacy for any medication he as taking.

He could've used a stick He could've used a brick Or maybe a giant car Or a ninja throwing star
But since he used a gun The lawyers came at a run
They'll huff and puff and stomp around But their ship of dreams will run aground Amendment #2 will come as a shock And for their ship it'll be that rock That pokes a hole right in the side Of what they think will be their free ride
your flippant remarks which you so adeptly sling

There will be a huge out of court settlement.

That is like suing an automobile manufacturer, the dealer and salesman because someone was killed in an accident Or suing a hen because you got sick from eating one of her eggs after it "went bad." � and the company that made and sold her feed � � and the farmer whom you stole the eggs from three weeks ago �
"Good enough" isn't.
Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.

There will be a huge out of court settlement. I hope not. Not only does Bushmaster need to not fall prey to this, but neither does the gun dealer. Others in the industry need to have their backs in this as well. For if you knock one egg off the table, the others are next. Don't see how it gets traction because the kid murdered the mother to gain access to the guns he used. The rifle was legally bought by a person legally able to own it.^^^^ This^^^^ is what they really want to change. For all of us. And throw as much schidt on the walls as they can, while they are at it.

Old Sock Puppet is right, they are just like Muslim terrorists when it come to trying to reason with them. I seen one crazy bish on the Internet spewing, "The NRA had blood on their hands." WTF?

That is like suing an automobile manufacturer, the dealer and salesman because someone was killed in an accident You're absolutely correct. The thing is that this happens in our litigious society. I've seen an instance where the automobile manufacturer, the dealership, and the salesman were all involved in a lawsuit. In this particular case it was a tragic accident where a young child was killed. The kid was left in a truck with the window slightly rolled down, he climbed up and put his foot on the armrest, hit the power window switch, the window rolled up, and he choked to death. No one was truly at fault but the parents wanted revenge for their son's death.

This Law Suit won't go very far when it get to court if it isn't thrown out before.

I'm suing Father Time for making me old, fat and ugly.
We could make it a class action suit if you old farts wanna sign up!
The notion that these people could ever even bring suit against the manufacturer is ridiculous in the extreme.

I'm sure the lawyers know how ridiculous this is and their chances of winning.
This is just a publicity stunt by the antis.

This is just a publicity stunt by the antis. That, and a chance at a huge out-of-court settlement, and having their time/expenses paid for by Bloomberg, and being able to fundraise around it. They win even if they lose.
