The U.S. Supreme Court has decided to allow families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims to sue Remington Arms, the manufacturer of the AR-15 rifle used in the deadly 2012 shooting that left 26 dead.

The lawsuit alleges that Remington shouldn’t have sold the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle to the public, and that Remington’s marketing for the gun illegally targeted “younger, at risk-males in marketing and product placement in violent video games,” according to the Associated Press.

Remington had argued that they should be afforded protection from a 2005 federal law that protects gun makers from litigation if their products are used to commit a crime, but the justices rejected that argument.

“The families are grateful that the Supreme Court upheld precedent and denied Remington’s latest attempt to avoid accountability,” said Joshua Koskoff, a lawyer for the Sandy Hook families.

“We are ready to resume discovery and proceed towards trial in order to shed light on Remington’s profit-driven strategy to expand the AR-15 market and court high-risk users at the expense of Americans’ safety,” he said.

A decision bad enough to rank up there with Dred Scott and Roe v Wade.
