The Remington that was sued doesn’t really exist anymore. The brands were sold to other companies as part of the bankruptcy. I think the decision to settle rested entirely with the insurance companies.
Good point. The Second amendment enshrines the rightful place of firearms as the last defender of the natural Freedoms our founders identified as coming from GOD. Cars are an option.
The plaintiffs’ lawyers took the unusual route of focusing not on Remington’s manufacturing of the gun used but on its marketing////
What about video games, rap music, why were they not included?
The article I read says they actually marketed their products in violent video games. Which in retrospect probably wasn’t a good idea. Basically they are targeting lonely, sexless young men — the primary perpetrators of these kinds of assaults.
Just ask the kid who did the shooting. He tasted the food and knows best as to how that food tastes. If he testified that there was no bearing on his criminality of Remington advertising motivational killing then we are just insinuating.
Remington should use the actual many times that responsible gun owners have stopped something bad happening to them, by using their gun legally, in their marketing. There’s plenty of instances – just, of course, not in the mainstream media.
Was this a CGL and Excess Liability tower? What insuring agreement was triggered? I wouldn’t think Remington’s “marketing” would be covered as an occurrence. Or was this under their D&O program?
Article reads as though CGL / Excess tower. For a foreigner, the differences in coverage operation are something I’m still trying to work out…. UK XS tower would almost always have continuous deductible / SIR etc all through.
Well since statistics show that 40% of Americans drink alcohol TOO MUCH….i think it’s safe to say that Ford, GM, Toyota, Tesla are marketing DIRECTLY to them!
Remington should not have agreed to any settlement. The fault rests entirely with the person who fired the gun(s).

Everyone can now sue Ford, Chevy, VW, etc for when a drunk driver hits you.
Correct, if the plaintiff is successful in showing that Ford, Chevy, VW etc aggressively marketed cars to drunks.
Maybe not to drunks but real stupid people get behind that wheel every day.
Well if you don’t see the difference between guns and cars…

So many judges, too many with their heads up their a&&es.
Just ask the kid who did the shooting. He tasted the food and knows best as to how that food tastes. If he testified that there was no bearing on his criminality of Remington advertising motivational killing then we are just insinuating.
Well, Adam Lanza has been dead for almost 10 years, so if he testifies that changes my whole understanding of the dead vs alive paradigm.
