Well this doesn't bode well for Remington, the Bushmaster brand, or AR-15s in general.
- The justices rejected an appeal from Remington Arms that argued it should be shielded by a 2005 federal law that prevented lawsuits against manufactures
- Decision allows for Connecticut lawsuit put forth by a survivor and relatives of nine victims who died at the Newtown school on December 14, 2012
- Lawsuit says the Madison, North Carolina-based company should never have sold a weapon as dangerous as the Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle to the public
- Adam Lanza earlier shot his mother to death at their Newtown home and killed himself as police arrived at the school
- The rifle was legally owned by his mother
- The Connecticut Supreme Court had earlier ruled 4-3 that the lawsuit could proceed for now, citing an exemption in the federal law
