Yesterday, the Sandy Hook families presented their dramatic oral argument about assault weapons in the Remington/Bushmaster case before the Connecticut Supreme Court.
The families are making the argument that Remington engaged in negligent entrustment by supplying the Sandy Hook shooter with a semiautomatic rifle designed for battlefield use, the AR-15. The product was marketed to civilians as a military item that provides infantry with superior firepower.
In Connecticut, negligent entrustment is defined as “supplying of a qualified product by a seller for use by another person when the seller knows, or reasonably should know, the person to whom the product is supplied is likely to, and does, use the product in a manner involving unreasonable risk of physical injury to the person or others.”
Attorney Joshua D. Koskoff argued that Remington/Bushmaster must have forseen that these dangerous rifles would make their way into the hands of violent Americans through both the (weak) primary retail market and the unregulated (private sales) secondary market for firearms in the United States.
