Remington Arms vs the Families of Nine Sandy Hook School Shooting Victims
The families of nine sandy hookd school shooting victims did not sue the company for the wrongful death of their children. They sued remington because of the company's marketing, which specifically targeted disturbed, weak little men. The lawsuit accused remington of promoting hyper masculinity and combat dominance while marketing a weapon designed to maximize battlefield fatalities to untrained civilians. After seven years of defeat dragging by remington, whose second bankruptcy and refusal to hand over documents significantly delayed the proceedings, the case was settled for 73 million dollars.
