Supreme Court Clears Way for Sandy Hook Families to Sue Gun Manufacturer
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Supreme Court also declined to hear an appeal by gun manufacturer
Remington Arms on Tuesday, clearing the way for the families of the 26
victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown,
Connecticut, to sue the firearm manufacturer. The families are arguing
that Remington violated Connecticut law when it marketed the Bushmaster
rifle for assaults against human beings. The Supreme Court's decision
not to take up the case lets stand the Connecticut Supreme Court's
decision to allow the Newtown families' lawsuit to move forward.
