Remington agreed to a $73 million payout to the parents of the Sandy Hook victims. But the manufacturer has opened the door to a never-ending train of lawsuits.
Shovels aren’t made to stab people in the neck, but can be an effective weapon. The mother of the Sandy Hook killer responsibly locked the gun used, but the kid murdered her to get the gun. In a free and open society, a person determined to kill people is very difficult to stop.
Gun opponents wanted to blame ‘advertising,’ which is the reason Remington settled the long-running lawsuit.
