"Connecticut Judge Dismisses Newtown Lawsuit Against Gun Maker"

87. The NRA was not a defendant in the Sandy Hook lawsuit

and constanting harping about them does not constitute substantive discussion, and certainly doesn't provide a legal analysis of the failing of the lawsuit regardless of the PLCAA.

Similarly, implicit attempts to shut down discussion by with claims that it disrespects or mocks dead children is ludicrous and juvenile. The deaths at Sandy Hook were undoubtedly tragic, but they do not alter the fundamental democratic process or decades of established products liability jurisprudence.

One doesn't need to support the NRA to realize the expected near impossibility of holding a highly regulated company who produces a legal (and constitutionally protected) product that functions as designed and intended liable for the criminal misuse of someone who stole such product. This is true whether the discussion concerns auto and alcohol manufacturers and drunk drivers of stolen cars or Adam Lanza's decision to kill his mother, steal her legal rifle, and then use it to murder children.
