Newtown school shooter Adam Lanza heard the message loud and clear when gun-maker Remington Arms marketed an AR-15-style rifle as an overpowering weapon favored by elite military forces, a lawyer for relatives of some victims of the massacre told the Connecticut Supreme Court on Tuesday. Lanza, who killed 20 first-graders and six educators with a Bushmaster XM15-E2S on Dec. 14, 2012, was obsessed with violent video games and idolized the Army Rangers, attorney Joshua Koskoff said. |

We don't hold gun manufacturers liable for shooting deaths for the same reason we don't hold auto manufacturers and refiners of gasoline responsible when someone uses an automobile or truck to kill people.
I haven't seen any calls to sue Home Depot, GM or Exxon for the recent terrorist attack in NYC.
This is just another tactic of the anti gun crowd to put legitimate gun manufacturers out of business. |

Any court that sides with the plaintiffs in this case needs to be investigated for extreme bias and failure to uphold the law.
I for one don't understand how the liberal court system decided that established law and the constitution no longer mattered. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
