Remington offers $33 million settlement with Sandy Hook school shooting victims’ families
Gun manufacturer Remington has offered nearly $33 million to nine families of victims killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in a proposed lawsuit settlement, according to court documents filed Tuesday.
Remington Arms Co. LLC and Remington Outdoors Co. Inc. – collectively “Remington” – offered $3.66 million each to nine plaintiffs relating to the shooting that killed 20 children and six adults in Newtown, Connecticut, according to separate offers of compromise.
In a statement, the lawyers for the victims’ families say in part they will “consider their next steps.”
Remington settled, which in the eyes of everyone is admitting fault.
This will open the door to every anti-gun activist to go after the industry.
And you know how the gun community deals with companies that are seen as weak or siding with the antis. It almost destroyed Smith & Wesson in the 90s.
Remington was just getting back on its feet after this latest bankruptcy and this will kill it again, by putting Remington on the gun community boycott list.
Trust me, as someone who knew people at Remington in Huntsville, they employees won’t be happy about this.
This is an upper management decision that will harm Remington, weaken the industry, and give ammunition to the politicians who want to kill the PLCAA.
