I wish them all the best and I hope they can promote some badly needed changes.
The families of Newtown victims will take their high-stakes case to Connecticut’s highest court Tuesday, arguing that gun manufacturers are liable when military-grade firearms end up in the hands of mentally ill mass shooters.
The case, brought by nine Sandy Hook Elementary families and one survivor against Remington Arms, alleges the company was negligent in the sale and marketing of the Bushmaster AR-15 assault-style rifle. The ads for the gun, they say, recklessly appealed to mentally unstable young people — like Adam Lanza — through video games and militaristic slogans.
