This lawsuit is so fucking stupid. The protection of lawful commerce in arms act of 2005 shields weapons makers from liability. It was a bipartisan law that prevented what happened to big tobacco happening to gun makers.
That this even went forward was some judge saying Remington used some novel advertising that radicalized Lanza. Utter bullshit.
Well, they went bankrupt, so this is all part of a settlement agreement anyway. They may have not settled, but for that.
The gun making industry has moved past major players as being as important as they were during the heyday of the lawsuits against them in the 1990s. Now, there are a lot of smaller manufacturers with CNC machines and polymer injection molding machines that can make something akin to a glock 17 for a fair price. Remington was bought for the name recognition and some patents they may own.
