Sandy Hook Parents File 1st Argument To Supreme Court In Gun Lawsuit Case
Attorneys for families of some of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims have filed their first legal brief, seeking to have the state Supreme Court reinstate a lawsuit against gunmaker Remington Arms Co.
In a 62-page document, attorney Josh Koskoff highlights the families' contention that Remington knowingly marketed a military weapon to a high-risk class of young males fascinated with violent video games, knowing before the 2012 school shooting that the AR-15 had become the weapon of choice for mass shooters.
Adam Lanza used a Bushmaster AR-15 to shoot and kill 20 first-graders and six adults.
"Remington reached its desired demographic: young men like Adam Lanza," Koskoff wrote. "Plaintiffs allege that Adam was a devoted player of first-person shooter games and partial to the AR-15 for committing virtual violence. He was obsessed with the military and aspired to join the elite Army Rangers unit. But when Adam turned eighteen on April 22, 2010, he did not enlist; rather than submit to rigorous mental health screening he almost certainly would have failed – and in any event uninterested in strict military oversight – Adam Lanza chose a simpler path: unfettered access to the Bushmaster."
