The Supreme Court won't stop a lawsuit brought by Sandy Hook victims' families against Remington Arms Co., the manufacturer of the semi-automatic rifle that was used in the 2012 mass shooting at an elementary school.

The Court decided not to take up an appeal by Remington. That marks a blow to the gun industry: Depending on the outcome of the case, it could open the door to gun violence victims' families suing gun manufacturers for damages.
The Sandy Hook victims' families are "grateful" for the Supreme Court's decision, attorneys for the families said in a statement. They called Remington's appeal the company's "latest attempt to avoid accountability."
A spokesman from Remington could not immediately be reached for comment.

I heard from a guy that once you take the safety off of the rifle and the weather is cold but not freezing cold the rifle can fire on its own. There are hundreds of thousands of those model rifles made by Remington out there. That is scary stuff. I have been in at least 4 situations where people guns fell on the ground and fired bullets that came close to hitting me. It is scary stuff. That is why I keep my guns empty and only load them up for use. Each one of those bullets is a criminal offence waiting to happen.
