So settling for 73mil.
What kind of precident is this setting...this isn't good for the future of gun manufacturers...

Lets be honest, nothing is a good president anymore. We are the fringe minority remember? Where is a positive outcome for gun owners lately? Little tiny wins among a war against gun owners are nice, but we have slipped way way way to far to regain ground to what the constitution was meant for. Did you see the gunsngadgets video yesterday on the convention of states? That was a little eye opening. A "potential" way to fix how far we have back stepped into the corner since the nfa was passed ...

Well, maybe auto makers should be liable for drunk driving crashes.

Apple and Samsung can be sued for texting while driving.

HRC can be sued for ED

The list goes on...

Waukesha families should be suing the pants off ford then...

[Smokeploe]

If people can sue gun makers in spite of federal law saying they cannot then something needs to be done.  I say for the stupid guns laws that don’t work and a family and or member of dies then sue the lawmaker that introduces the bad law.  Maybe you cannot sue them as a government official then sue them as a private citizen then! What is good for the goose as good for the gander as the saying goes.  The law makers need to be responsible for the *censored* that they do!

I can't believe they settled, even if it cost them twice as much to fight this, it would have been worth it.  WTF were they thinking? No way this suit should have happened.

From the article...
The blame is how the AR was marketed...and how it's shown in video games as the weapon of choice...it's the militaries primary weapon for war, there's a commercial with an AR that says consider your mancard reissued...blah blah ..

If this is the case why wasn't the video game co. Sued..the military, the broadcasting co for the commercial...etc...

And with this line of thinking it's pretty easy to utilize this ruling for huge financial settlements...like suing alcohol manufacturers for DUI death's, because of how they market their products...

This settlement is honestly mind boggling... there must be something else at play behind closed doors... IDK...

A settlement is not really a "loss".  Interesting article though.  Did Remington actually pay for product placement in games?  I had never heard that...  REALLY dumb move, if they did.

[Evil_EdwardO]

So who settled? Since Remington was bought out, is it the new investors, since they carry the Remington name now or are the old investors still liable?

[GWP]

Any car/motorcycle manufacturer that touts high horsepower or ANY hint of being able to go over the speed limit or go around corners fast had better sit up and take notice.
Particularly if they are in video games.

This is a settlement, not a guilty verdict.  Two very different things.

I'd be curious if the Bankruptcy required them to wrap this up, or cap the cost if able.

A settlement that admits guilt..
Sorry but this settlement totally takes out the human factor involved...it's not like the AR just up and started shooting....it was simply a tool..

Lots of things can be used as tools of death and destruction... should the maker of the tool be liable...it appears so from now on...

Is there a report they are admitting guilt?  I didn't see it in the article linked.

There are plenty of law suit settlements without admission.  Vehicle companies do it on the regular.

Think it says their insurance company
