I like the 870 and the ammunitions. Plus, green is my favorite color.F Remington, F the lawyers and especially F the judge that didn't toss this shit out long ago. Glad I don't own anything from Remington (had an 870 years back, sold it not long after getting it). Now I never will own anything with their name on it.
WE all know this just opens up the doors to more BS law suits. We also know it's all part of the plan to disarm the American people to allow the gov to do whatever they want without any chance of US doing something about it.
This will open a whole new can of worms for gun makers. Every company will be facing similar law suits
It was in Connecticut state court based on a marketing law in Connecticut. The insurance companies are paying the settlement, we won’t see others like this.
Everyone killed by a drunk diver will have the families suing the auto-maker for aggressively marketing them. So now any legal product can't be aggressively marketed. The wackiness just keeps getting worse.
Well, then, let's hope that families in CT start suing the automakers, and use this as a precedent. Then when the dumbasses whine, we'll just laugh and say "You get what you deserve." Liberal cucks.This was in Connecticut state court. The lower court threw it out, the CT Supreme Court by a 4-3 decision allowed it.
It’s a garbage case and should have been tossed by the CT Supreme Court. The suit wasn’t a 2A suit, it was based on a particular law in CT regarding marketing of products. As bad as this is, it’s not going to be replicated in most other states because their courts aren’t asses and their states don’t have these BS marketing laws
Can't use a settlement as if it were legal precedent.Well, then, let's hope that families in CT start suing the automakers, and use this as a precedent. Then when the dumbasses whine, we'll just laugh and say "You get what you deserve." Liberal cucks.
But btw, I have sooooooooooo little faith in Remington as a gun company these days
No worries, they will.Can't use a settlement as if it were legal precedent.
Not that this will stop families and ambulance chasers from trying to cash in.
I sure hope you're right. The shooter, Adam Lanza, had a serious mental illness. His mother tried for years to mainstream him and it was her that taught Adam how to shoot. She often took him to a range. As a teen, he played first person shooter games endlessly. That may not have caused him to do what he did, but it sure didn't help.This was in Connecticut state court.

If she rolled around in cocaine right now, it would stick someplace special...Maura is salivating.
This.This is getting circulated amongst the gun community and its demonstrating how little they know about how these things work. Remington went bankrupt, assets are all sold off and there is nothing to get out of them that hasn't been carved out already. Remington when it was open carried insurance for these kinds of events. The amount paid out was from their insurer just cutting their losses and getting out of the case without spending any more money than they have already. The insurance company could likely care less about gun politics and is treating this as a pure financial move.
If big green had millions they would have still been in business. I know the new owners and they didn't have anything to do with this.This.
I was thinking this wasn't Big Green's call, but that even if it was? I doubt their pockets were deep enough for this fight.

I think the insurance companies actual did care about gun politics in a roundabout way.This is getting circulated amongst the gun community and its demonstrating how little they know about how these things work.

but were still talking about their bottom line and any gun politics is an ancillary feature.I think the insurance companies actual did care about gun politics in a roundabout way.
The $73MM settlement equals the cap on the insurance policies, if they had taken it to court and lost, the insurer's liability would have been the same amount, so fighting it would have only cost them goodwill and the (presumably in-house, salaried) lawyers effort.
I suspect the insurers settled specifically to avoid losing a case in court -- that actually does establish "legal precedent", potentially resulting in them paying out on other policies they likely hold, and precedent would all but guarantee nuisance plaintiffs coming out of the woodwork to cash in.

The responsible party was his mother, Nancy Lanza. Problem is she was the first to die.
Why? They're bankrupt, kaput, finito. The factory has been closed for almost a year, when production starts back up all that will be left is the name that was sold to the highest bidder.
Might've been in a normal state, but it was being tried in Connecticut and SCOTUS refused to consider the PLCAA argument.I remember that. He was a disturbed kid and she absolutely should never have put him near firearms. The insane thing with the lawsuit, even if Remington was marketing guns in the way the scumbag lawyers claim, it’s irrelevant because the shooter was never the buyer of the rifle and additionally there no evidence Lanza ever saw the advertisements.
Should have been laughed out of court the first day.

Anyone would be a fool to buy a gun factory in this current climate. If all it take is one looney going on a rampage to close you down, it’s just a matter of time.Why?

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction? Perhaps this is the intended result all along.Anyone would be a fool to buy a gun factory in this current climate. If all it take is one looney going on a rampage to close you down, it’s just a matter of time.
Maybe if they did like TV commercials and stamped “don’t not go on mass shooting sprees.” On each gun?
