And it is completely legal. I can see holding a manufactuer accountable if they broke the law or took reckless action....but this is like saying a drunk driver who killed someone--quick, what make car was he driving, let's sue them.

At some point this could end up in the SC....

Maybe they're hoping that the insurer will see a settlement as the cheaper option which would allow the anti's to declare victory. Only nine of the 26 families have signed onto this which should say something to it's overreach.

The larger purpose here however is not to win the lawsuit but rather to impose gun control by bankrupting gun dealers and manufacturers out of business with waves of lawsuits. Even frivolous lawsuits costs money to defend against, money which some, including most small time dealers, can't afford. The only thing that stopping most of them is the PLCAA and that's definitely on their radar to repeal.

Until then I hope that once this attempt fails Remington and the other defendants counter sue the pants off of them for legal costs.
