Sandy Hook victims' families sue Remington over the AR-15 rifle - Daily Mail

The families (right) of nine people who died in the attack sued Bushmaster Firearms LCC in 2014, arguing the AR-15 (bottom right) should never have been sold to the gunman's mother, Nancy Lanza, because it had no civilian purpose. But James Vogts (upper left), a lawyer for the manufacturer, said Monday: 'It's not the role of this court or perhaps a jury to decide whether civilians as a broad class of people are not appropriate to own these kinds of firearms.' Matthew Soto (bottom left), whose sister Victoria was one of 26 people killed in the December 2012 Sandy Hook attack in Newton, Connecticut said the recent Orlando shooting had intensified his desire to fight for accountability by gun makers.
