    In this case, they initially tried to sue Remington because the shooter used a Remington rifle, The lower courts said, nope you can't do that because of PLCCA.
    However, they found a way around PLCCA by using Conetticuts state laws about ads and trade practices claiming that Remington's advertising for AR15s was irresponsibly geared directly at young teens and as result should be held at least partially responsible.
    Long story short, they found yet another creative way to use our court system to try to financially destroy the gun industry.
    Keep in mind, this didn't mean their argument would win at trial, it just meant they were allowed to try it.
    Trials are incredibly expensive for defendants because they have to pay attorneys on the front end where these plaintiffs aren't paying their attorneys anything until they win or settle the case.
    So they can drag this as long as they want and keep in mind Remingtons had already gone bankrupt twice!
    People have this idea that the gun industry makes a ton of money, they don't especially compared to other sectors.
    Open Source Defense provides a perfect example of how small the gun industry actually is:
    Ruger is the biggest publicly traded gun company in the world, and their market cap is $1.3 billion. For comparison, Google made $18.5 billion in profit last quarter; i.e. Google’s weekly profit exceeds the entire value of Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc.
    Gunmakers are small companies in a low-margin business. It doesn’t take much to bankrupt them.
    ( opensourcedefe... )
    If this is about creating change, saving lives, and proving that the gun manufacturers are responsible for these types of shootings, why did they accept the settlement?
    Accepting the settlement meant that the gun company didn't accept any responsibility for what happened.
    There are only 9 people in this suit on the plaintiffs side. After these 9 people going to split the settlement with the other families who are affected by this tragic event?
    If this was about saving lives the only thing that would matter is getting a verdict in court demonstrating that what Remington did was responsible for the deaths of those children at that school.
    Instead, once the number was high enough, they settled. That's literally what the Attorney just said.
    The goal was never to win on the merits of the case.
    The goal was to make it harder for gun companies to get liability insurance because they'd be too much of a risk because now they can be sued for just marketing their products and then someone using it in a crime.
    There are over 8 -12 thousand gun homicides a year. If you can sue every gun manufacturer for their gun used in one of those homicides, the companies would be bankrupt in less than a year and that's what they are counting on while getting filthy rich in the process.

      For just this reason
      Even in movies where people are shown drinking and driving as part of the plot
      There will be NO brand shown
      An AR type firearm...is pretty distinctive
      So...when that type of firearm is shown being used in an anti-social manner in any media
      I guess the manufacture(s) should have objected?

They punished all law abiding gun carrying citizens with new state gun laws including gun bans, and Ammo capacity restrictions. That being said, my response to this massacre and all other ones is, I don’t ever say the killers name publicly or privately as to not ever give them any notoriety, or potential fame. We in Connecticut refer to him as the sandy hook shooter. I would like to suggest everyone do the same. Once again thank you for all you do, and for being the voice to the voiceless sir.

    • @larrysfarris
      @larrysfarris 2 роки тому +9

      Eric, I was having the same problem; couldn’t understand the settlement, why settle…why now? According to the lawsuit since it was no longer about the gun, but about marketing/advertising strategy, it seemed like the perfect lawsuit to argue in front of a jury. The thing that Colin says in this video (@ 6:50) which isn’t really stressed but is the key point to be taken away: “Remington” was not the business entity that made the decision to settle the lawsuit. Since Remington had gone bankrupt and was split up, who was left to “settle” the lawsuit? As Colin says, it fell upon the insurance companies that protected Remington at the time. The insurance companies were the ones financially “on the hook” - it was their call to make, to settle the lawsuit. It became clear to me once I understood it wasn’t technically “Remington” money that will be paid out, but “insurance” company money. Now one may still argue the insurance companies shouldn’t have agreed to pay out, but it was their call to make… after all, it is their money. Guess what I find interesting at this point is the insurance companies apparently found it cheaper to pay out ($73M) than to spend that same amount fighting the lawsuit. Guess it scared them, they could spend that amount fighting the lawsuit, still lose and then would still have to cough up settlement money. Seems they took the path of least {financial} resistance. Besides, every lawyer will tell you, ‘juries’ can be fickle things.

      You are going to see people start suing car manufacturers for crashes due to negligence and criminal activity--I guarantee it.

Only then, when nobody is individually responsible for their actions--can you institute true, universal slavery and totalitarian oppression.
      This case isn't actually about Sandy Hook's victims, or "gun violence", or Remington. It's about establishing the legal precedent where the OBJECT used in a crime bears the responsibility, and the person who uses that object is completely and totally absolved from any and all culpability.

From them, things will be taken, things they have taken from others. It will all be taken to the last mite. Never encroach upon the Authority of God, governments are called beasts because they always encroach, deciding who lives or dies, what can or cannot be taken from others without any faith/justice/mercy... those that support them are in grave risk of receiving in their punishments. And once that is finished... then they will perish into nothingness... Do not support evil, lend it your voice, and never accept it by any measure or out of convenience. Better to suffer and die than have a hand in the death and suffering of others.

      The most recent year I could find correlating data for is 2017. According to Small Arms Survey, there were ~393,347,000 civilian owned guns in the USA in 2017. According to the CDC, the total number of deaths from firearms in 2017 was 39,773. Homicide accounted for 36.6% of those 39,773 (=14,557). That means there were 27,021 firearms owned per every ONE homicide. To put these numbers into perspective a little bit - there were 272,480,899 motor vehicles registered in the USA in 2017. 37,133 people lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes in 2017. That means for every 7,337 cars registered there was 1 death. Even though guns are "designed to kill" and cars are literally jam packed full of safety features designed to save your life, the object to death ratio is 3.68x higher for cars.

It offers them more control over the people, because you have to live where public transport is available, which is an urban environment. You can't produce your own food or get water in an urban environment, it has to be brought to you. They can simply shut everything off until you obey.
      The EPA is already going after gearheads like me who build high performance vehicles, and the companies that sell us parts. It doesn't matter if the parts are only used with clean burning green fuels either, its not about the environment, its about control.
      They meant it when they said they wanted us to own nothing by 2030. Hard to achieve that when we are armed and able to move around freely.

    For twenty years I did subrogation for the largest Subrogation Recovery Co in the US. I recovered monies paid by health insurance carriers in accident related situations. You are right, plaintiff counsel was in it for the money. Typical personal injury attorney deals are 1/3 of the settlement plus fees and costs. If it goes to trial that fee goes to at least 40%. So Mr. Do Gooder's firm walks away with $29 million. The rest to be divided up by the families. Now Health Insurance carriers may or may not subrogate the matter. They have the right but it may be a pr thing. While I was working the company did not subrogate any claims related to the World Trade Center attack. What disturbs me is that it was a policy limits settlement. The insurance companies threw in the towel. I wonder why they did that?

      Did you not listen? Remington didn't settle... insurance companies did.

      @@jjsmurf8759 let’s look at this from an educated side shall we. A doctor has malpractice insurance , as a building owner liability insurance as a car owner liability as a person , healthcare insurance. Etc etc etc. no different with Remington and their insurance companies. Just like any other insurance company , do you think there are insurance companies that just on a whim pay out people’s claims. No they are employed by Remington to handle these affairs. Now , what do you think happens to remingtons (and all other gun manufacturers) premiums. They are going to skyrocket. Exactly what I was saying about this, it sets precedence and the wrong type of precedence. This will severely impact the budget needed to be insured if every dick and Jane wants to sue and can simply settle the cases. Yes the insurance companies paid it but that’s because that is what Remington pays them to do. So anyone who believes Remington is not paying for this little problem is delusional about how this all works. Basically like all insurance the more risk the higher your premium is. Does that help. Similarly if they ever get what they want and make everyone carry insurance for a gun as an individual. The goal there is to simply make it so that only a few will even be able to afford the insurance therefor no insurance no gun. This is truly a devastating ruling and again I say Remington should have never aloud the settlement to occur. Oh and by the way. My malpractice insurance is a 1,000,000 policy. So if I get sued and the case awards someone more than my insurance policy covers who do you think has to pay the rest. That’s Right. I haven’t read enough to see if their insurance policies covered the full amount or not. Simply saw that the four agreed to settle. Again premiums will go up for all manufacturers and possibly make a lot of small business go out of business with this ruling and the future.

      @@m.sand- well put. Also, I believe somewhere in California, there is some wackadoo already trying to pass this gun owners insurance crap. It's not high but it gives the idea that you need to pay a fee in order to protect yourself. I do not like that one bit.

      Insurance companies don't care about you or your rights. Most large gun companies don't care about you or your rights. Any of them would be just as happy if you were taken into bondage as all leftists who voted for Brandon must believe after watching their reactions to things happening in the news. Major gun companies would probably even be happier since having to have a large heavily armed police force to maintain jackbooted control over the population would mean they sell even more guns.

    As usual a well thought out response, and now I know why "advertising liability insurance" is being required by all of the companies I do business with. This decision is going to be used as legal precedent going forward and will be the gift that keeps on giving to the legal and insurance industries.
