families to sue over Newtown

[skosh69]

So families from the Newtown, Conn killings by Adam Lanza are going to sue Bushmaster and the guns distributors.

What a crock sheet.

Nobody ever sues Ford, Chevy, Budweiser, Jack Daniels or the likes when one of their products kills someone or entire families.

Doubt it'll go far except to hurt Bushmaster's bottom line a bit.

This has been tried before in other states and has failed.

yeah, just making noise for gun controll again....this will not go far at all. Just annoying!

[T.S.]

When Bushmaster is cleared, they should counter-sue for legal fees to make an example out of these people and to avoid frivolous lawsuits in the future.

Nope, they lost kids and want someone to be at fault.

Sue the ambulance chasers who took advantage of tragedy for gain.

You beat me to it Bonz.

Sue the State of Connecticut for not allowing lawful carry of firearms on school property for the purpose of self-defense.
[Sec. 53a-217b (a)]

And sue the school district for not allowing lawful carry of firearms on school property for the purpose of self-defense.
[Sec. 53a-217b (b)]

Both of which are currently prohibited under Connecticut General Statute Sec. 53a-217b
