Remington Arms Co. is challenging the unusual legal claim that says the maker of a gun used in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting should be held liable for what the user of the gun did with it, because the company allegedly directed its marketing efforts at “high-risk users.”
The Madison, North Carolina-based firearms manufacturer filed a petition for certiorari on Aug.1 in the case known as Remington Arms Co. v. Soto, asking the Supreme Court to review a Connecticut Supreme Court ruling from March that allowed a wrongful death lawsuit brought by families of the victims to move forward.
