Strange argument. The Bushmaster carbine is most definitely not a "military weapon designed for war."The Newtown lawsuit alleges that Remington’s Bushmaster AR-15, used to kill 26 people at Sandy Hook, is a military weapon designed for war, and thus too dangerous to sell to the general public. Remington disputes this.
Seems both the author and Lytton are out of their element if they take the Badger Guns case as a sign since the FFL was clearly guilty of wrongdoing.That the case was returned to Connecticut, where it may receive more sympathetic hearing, is a small achievement in what will be a very long and uphill battle for the families, said Timothy Lytton, a law professor at Georgia State University College of Law and editor of Suing the Gun Industry: A Battle at the Crossroads of Gun Control and Mass Torts.
