Back on February 15, I posted about the Remington Arms lawsuit settlement on the Sandy Hook massacre. I stated that this settlement will open "a can of worms" for the future. There was no actual ruling, but Remington Arms decided to settle. Or, it could be their insurer decided to settle.
A letter to the editor in The Winchester Star by a reader lays it all out on why this was a bad move. The settlement may be good for Remington Arms, but not good for the rest of the firearms industry.
David Eddy of Middletown began it with:
Everyone remembers the Sandy Hook shootings in 2012 by a mentally deranged male, killing 20 children with an AR-15 type weapon. It is scary that Remington was recently found liable for this heinous act conducted by an individual.
By holding gun manufacturers accountable for such actions, anti-2nd Amendment lobbyists want you to think that they can bankrupt the gun industry and use this weak argument for gun confiscation from law-abiding gun owners.
