State Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis granted a motion by Remington Arms to strike the lawsuit by the families of nine children and adults killed and a teacher who survived the Dec. 14, 2012, school attack, in which a gunman killed 20 first-graders and six educators with a Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle made by Remington.

Judge didn't have much choice unless they wanted to simply ignore the Protection of Legal Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). But PLCAA is one of the things Hitlary wants to repeal once she's crowned.

The lawsuits are so stupid. I smile every time I hear about them getting shot down (ha).

 

[XinTX]

Hopefully Remmy goes after them to recoup their legal costs.

Should have never made it to court in the first place

Perhaps I read it wrong, but I think this was actually only a hearing to see whether PLCAA was in play and not the actual lawsuit proceeding.

Probably and just like the Colorado families these folks will be on the hook for millions just like they were when it's all did and done

Great work by the NRA getting that law passed. We be screwed otherwise.

Yep

Yep

That's the sad thing. Some lawyer somewhere decided to profit from people still dealing from a tragedy. Scum of the earth.

Next up - fat people suing hamburger makers or ice cream or onion rings, or or or or or or or - sorry fat ass, what you shove down your pie hole is your responsibility.

But, but, but, my lard ass is someone else's fault, not my disgusting eating choices.

I'm a victim.

Pass me the fries..

Hillary has stated this is one of the first problems she will "fix" if elected......

 

[Recoil45]

Yes, one of the many reasons people need to vote for Trump.

The NRA was smart enough to get this legislation passed before these lawsuits became a big issue. We need to make sure it stays in place.

Yep for once we were way ahead of the game and got this passed before the antis really amped it up as an anti-gun strategy.

The judge was pressured to strike down the lawsuit because if it went to court then we would all find out that nobody actually died

Morbidrealities,

More likely, this court case was funded by some FAR LEFT gun-HATER like former NY Mayor Bloomberg or George Soros.
(IF "Hillary THE HATEFUL" wins, expect many more such lawsuits, even when the cases shouldn't even be allowed to be filed/waste the court's time.)

Personally, I believe that the judge erred when she didn't sanction the attorney(s).

yours, satx

If I build my own AR-style weapon and it's used in a crime, am I considered the manufacturer? Or would the victims go after the manufacturer of the lower receiver (since that is the "firearm" in the eyes of the ATF)?

Depends on how much money you have. They go after the deepest pockets first.

You didn't manufacture the parts, you simply assembled them.

Doesn't mean, however, you can't be sued. You can be sued for anything.

I think he was referring to being a "manufacturer" in the eyes of the ATF. Completing the assembly of a Stripped Lower into a complete AR15 Rifle, is considering "manufacturing" by the ATF.
