State Supreme Court overturns lower court ruling, says Sandy Hook families can sue gun manufacturer Remington - Hartford Courant
The Connecticut Supreme Court Thursday narrowly reversed a ruling by a lower court judge dismissing a lawsuit by the families of victims of the Sandy Hook shooting against Remington Arms Company, allowing the case to proceed.
In a 4-3 decision the court remanded the landmark gun case back to Bridgeport Superior Court and possibly created a path that other mass shooting victims can follow to get around the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, known as PLCAA, which has protected the manufacturers of the AR-15 assault rifle from lawsuits.

:lamoThe gun manyfacturers’ continued aggressive marketing of a known public health hazard is not unlike the tobacco industry’s continued shameless marketing of smoking after studies had proven the tobacco/cancer link. They need to be held liable for pushing a known dangerous product on the public the same as the tobacco industry.
Now if the public wants to keep buying these products, it should still be their prerogative, just like smoking. It should not be banned, as that invariably creates backlash out of spite alone. Let them keep buying it. A fool and his money must part. But the manufacturers should be held liable for false advertising and propagating myths with their claims of “guns make us safer” and the image of the real American and real man needing a huge gun to keep his home and country safe. This is no different than the Joe Camel advertising campaign by the tobacco industry to kids and adolescents that smoking makes you cool.

Health hazard? :lamo
It is a tool, not a health issue.

A nuclear weapon is just a tool too. Because we all know nukes don’t kill people. People kill people. So time to stop the unconstitutional ban on public sales of nuclear arms, right?
And what’s the worry about the North Koreans and Iranians getting nukes? If you ban nukes, they will just do the same thing with trucks and nail clippers, right?
Its not at all similar actually.
A nonsensical reply. Figures.
I can't help what idiots say.That’s not what the public health specialists say.
Really? You want to go down another absurd path?A tool is a tool, right? why are some weapons just tools, but others not?
I can't help what idiots say.

Really? You want to go down another absurd path? The North Koreans and Iranians need such tools for personal defense too.
Is a nuclear warhead a personal defensive device like a gun is?
Irrelevant comparisons.OK, public health specialists should be dismissed on public health issues. Climate change specialists should be dismissed on climate change. Infectious disease specialists should be dismissed on vaccination recommendations. Evolutionary biologists should be dismissed on evolution. We should only listen to Fox News for the real facts. Because they are the only ones without any nonsense. Got it.
Oy vey.A tool is a tool. You don’t get to define words in the English language too.
That’s not what the public health specialists say.

This is entirely unconstitutional, but I am sure you don't care.

Wait 'til someone points one at you. I suspect something then'll strike you as a health hazard.
Studies by the centers for Disease Control (CDC) were showing that guns were a serious public health hazard, no different than smoking. That’s why the gun lobby pushed congress to ban further research there, and successfully pushed for gag orders on physicians from even being able to bring up the findings with their patients.
Gun Violence as a Public Health Issue – Science-Based Medicine
Bans on research and gag orders in Physicians, because we are a free country, right?
Firearms are not parallel to cigarettes. There was no safe use of cigarettes but there are safe uses for firearms. The misuse of firearms is the problem but not the firearm itself. Cigarettes are themselves the problem as they were loaded with harmful chemicals and the harm was immediately transferred upon use and known to be transferred upon use. Firearms are different as they can be used in such a manner as to not result in harm by their use.
There is absolutely no safe use for an AR15 with high capacity magazine clips and bumpstocks.
