2CI Scholar Shares Insights About a Gun Liability Lawsuit in the Sandy Hook Elementary Shootings
Timothy Lytton, a Distinguished University Professor of Law and a Second Century Initiative scholar, has been quoted widely in recent stories about a decision by the Supreme Court to reject an appeal in a case stemming from the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
Families of the victims sued a gun manufacturer, Remington Arms, and the company attempted to have the suit dismissed under the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act of 2005. The Supreme Court’s move allows the case to move forward in the Connecticut state court system.
