Connecticut Judge Rules Lawsuit Against Sandy Hook Gun Manufacturer Can Move Forward

Connecticut State Judge Barbara Bellis is intent on cancelling the 2nd amendment. She is using a back-door method to make that happen.

A Connecticut judge ruled Thursday that a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the gun used in the Sandy Hook shootings, and other companies, can move forward.

A Connecticut Superior Court judge denied a motion to dismiss the lawsuit against the companies involved in the manufacturing, distribution and sale of the rifle used in the deadly 2012 shootings.

Adam Lanza used a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings on Dec. 14, 2012 to kill 26 people in less than five minutes. The families of the victims, which included 20 children, have sued the maker, distributor and seller of the rifle, arguing that the military-style gun should have never been available for civilians to purchase.

Connecticut State Judge Barbara Bellis rejected the gun companies’ argument that a 2005 federal law can protect gun businesses from civil lawsuits.

Remington Arms Co., the manufacturer of the rifle, is named in the suit. Also named is Camfour Inc., a distributor of firearms, and the now-defunct Riverview Gun Sales, a dealer in East Windsor, Conn., that sold the rifle to the Lanza’s mother in 2010.

The 2005 federal law clearly states that a gun manufacturer cannot be held liable for improper actions of a gun owner. The logic is so preposterous, the judge should be booted from the bench. It is as if an automobile manufacturer is held liable because a drunk driver causes an accident. Neither the manufacturer of the automobile nor the gun have any control whatever over the actions of the users of their products, and if the products are used according to their proper intent, there is no injury. But liberals are only interested in taking guns away from law-abiding citizens, and they will do it by creating outlandish and nonsensical laws such as justice Bellis has, or creating special “lists” of people who are not allowed to have guns, or by taxing them out of reach of the ordinary citizen. It is not that gun-owners do not sympathize with the families of the Sandy Hook victims, but they are pursuing the wrong people in filing this law suit against gun manufacturers. The person responsible is the shooter, and only the shooter.

The cost and effort to fight against these nonsense lawsuits is beyond the ordinary citizen, and so they will continue to pop up as long as liberals are determined to violate the 2nd amendment.

Judge Bellis is a political hack masquerading as a judge and should be voted out of office if that is possible.
