Families Of Sandy Hook Victims Allowed To Sue AR-15 Manufacturer, Judge Rules

The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Sandy Hook victims’ families can move forward with a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the AR-15-style gun used by the shooter in the 2012 Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school attack.

“The court ruled that the Sandy Hook families should have the opportunity to prove that Remington violated the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUTPA) by marketing what it knew was a weapon designed for military use to civilians,” reported the Hartford Courant.
