Sandy Hook families file wrongful death claim notices

[GunLink]

With the deadline to file approaching this Sunday, December 14, 2014, a number of families have taken the first steps in filing possible lawsuits against Bushmaster and the town of Newtown.

HARTFORD, Conn. — The parents of 10 children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School have filed or soon will file notices in probate court that they plan to make wrongful death claims on their children's behalf.

Yeah, Bushmaster getting sued is exactly what the Freedom Group needs after the AAC lawsuit, Remington's problems with the 700 and R51 and the initial hate over Sandy Hook.  I wonder if they will survive.

Even if the protection of lawful commerce in arms gets any case thrown out or beat, it won't help their PR or stock prices any.  Especially when Cerberus already vowed to get out of guns years ago. I'm sure that's at least part of what they're after, though.  Teach the evil gun company a lesson, maybe force them out, drag them through the mud, give them a black eye.
