BOSTON - Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey announced Friday that she had joined 13 other attorneys general in filing a brief with the U.S. Court of Appeals that seeks to reverse a recent ruling in a case involving Remington Arms and defective firearms.
The amicus curiae, or friend of the court, brief was filed Friday in the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. It seeks to overturn a ruling from March involving a class action suit filed against Remington Arms that claimed the company sold as many as 7.5 million firearms with defective triggers.
The original suit charged that because of defects, the guns were prone to fire accidentally without the triggering being depressed, and that Remington officials knew this for decades and did nothing about it.
