Newtown Families File Suit Against AR-15 Manufacturer and Seller

Via Joe

FILE - In this Dec. 4, 2013 file photo, a school bus drives past a sign reading Welcome to Sandy Hook, in Newtown, Conn., where 26 people were killed by a gunman inside Sandy Hook Elementary School. A new play about the massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School will have a benefit reading in December in New York City to commemorate the second anniversary of the tragedy. Eric Ulloa’s “26 Pebbles,” which was adapted from transcripts of interviews with people touched by the shootings, will have a staged reading Dec. 15 at the Culture Project’s The Lynn Redgrave Theater. The director will be Igor Goldin and prices range from $50-$150. (AP Photo/Jessica Hill, File)

The families of nine of the 26 people killed and a teacher injured two years ago at the Sandy Hook Elementary School filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor and seller of the rifle used in the shooting.
 
The negligence and wrongful death lawsuit, filed Monday in Bridgeport Superior Court, asserts that the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle should not have been made publicly available because it is a military weapon unsuited for hunting or home defense. (The lawyer knows he'll never win this, but thinks he can get a settlement.)

    Didn't they used to call that "malicious harassment"?

    I could be wrong, but, as I understand the matter handguns were used in the mass shooting. The "assault rifle" was found in the trunk of the car. Follow the money,

    And tomorrow manufacturers of ladders will be sued by those who have fallen off them.
    fat people will sue supermarkets and fast food for making them fat.
    victims of drunk driving accidents will sue car makers for creating wheeled weapons....after they get done suing the liquor producers that created the swill that made the driver drunk....

    A gun is a tool, an object, if you will. You can't sue an object. You can't sue a tree
    for falling on you. Go after the family, Peter, the father, whom he was
    partly responsible for his son. I don't even believe any of this was real. Just saying.
