Remington Seeks to Dismiss Lawsuit over Assault Rifle Used at Sandy Hook

HeadlineJun 20, 2016

In Connecticut, a judge hears arguments today over whether to dismiss a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the gun used in the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. Families of the victims are suing Remington Arms, the parent company of Bushmaster Firearms, which makes the military-style assault rifle used in the massacre. A similar gun was used in the Orlando nightclub killings. The families say the company should have known the gun is a military weapon, too dangerous to sell to civilians. Remington has sought to dismiss the lawsuit.
