Sandy Hook Lawsuit Against Gun Manufacturer Moved to Federal Court

[GGJohn]

MILFORD, Conn. (Reuters) - Gunmaker Remington won a bid to move a lawsuit by families of the victims of the Sandy Hook school massacre from state to federal court, officials said on Thursday.

The move could help Remington by taking the suit out of the hands of a state system that might be influenced by local issues, said Timothy Lytton, a professor at Albany Law School.

"The defendants must believe they have a better chance of stopping the lawsuit in federal court than in state court," he said, adding that federal courts have a track record of rejecting gun manufacturer liability cases.

Now that it's been moved to the Federal Court system, what little chance the plaintiff's had in State Court has now disappeared and will now almost certainly be dismissed due to the PLCAA.
