Showing Original Post only (View all)Father of 6-year-old Sandy Hook victim hopes to bring unique lawsuit against AR-15 makers [View all]
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/sandy-hook-victim-dad-hopes-viable-suit-ar-15-maker-article-1.3686471?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_farkNot a day goes by that Ian Hockley doesnt think about the death of his son Dylan.
The 6-year-old boy was gunned down five years ago by deranged mass shooter Adam Lanza. He was among the 26 children and adults whom the 20-year-old Lanza killed during his Dec. 14, 2012, rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Dylan is dead every day, and his mother and his brother Jake and I live with that, Hockley said.
The boys death left an unfillable void in Hockley but it also gave him a purpose.
(Rest at link)
I feel for all the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, but this lawsuit is very likely doomed to fail. And the gun ban groups that continually push these grieving families to file these nuisance lawsuits will walk away once the judgement to pay the Remington's legal fees comes down.

Only if one ignores the fact that the actual purchaser wasn't a member of that demographic

Do as Australia did...buy back the military grade weapons and toss them on a bonfire.

All of the "military grade" weapons in civilian hands are registered to the current civilian owners

Exactly the type of WMD's Australia threw in the Barbi! Zero mass murders since.
