Interesting, my Google newsfeed reads something like "gun manufacturers dealt stunning blow by U.S. Supreme Court."
That's no where close to the significance of this case.
Here's where this case is. It is in the very preliminary stages. No evidence has been presented. The judicial system does not favor dismissing lawsuits that may have some merit. The courts prefer to have some evidence to help frame the issues.
Both the Connecticut Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court (and the trial court) will have another say on this case.
There are several legal principals here that the reports will gloss over. This case is a long way from over.
The plaintiffs have a very high standard to prove under the Connecticut law.
