The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled that families of Sandy Hook victims can continue their yearslong lawsuit against gun manufacturers
The decision says that the families may pursue one of their specific claims in the case: that Remington, the manufacturer of Bushmaster's version of the AR-15 rifle used during the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, knowingly marketed the gun for use by people to"carry out offensive, military style combat missions against their perceived enemies."State law does not permit advertisements that encourage criminal behavior, according to the decision.
In allowing the marketing argument to go forward, the justices wrote that their interpretation of the federal statute does not give gun companies free reign to use"truly unethical and irresponsible marketing practices."How Sandy Hook changed the response to mass shootingsIn their original complaint, the families outlined some of the marketing practices allegedly used by Bushmaster.
