And as you so often point out, red meat is not exactly the best jackal repellent.
Damage is indeed incalculable; the floodgates are now open and the precedent will strip succeeding defendants of any/all defenses. Set up like bowling pins.
F**k remingon
How bad is this in total? I just heard a well known gun blogger stating that the damage was more at the state level and not nationally. I could tell he was trying to make the best of this bad situation.
Should I dust off an old 45 rpm of " This is the End", or do we still have a chance?
Imagine suits filed in all 50 states against all gun biz defendants using terminology crafted to each state's legalisms.
Imagine disaster.
A story published elsewhere made the point that Remington didn't settle. The Remington that was sued no longer exists. It was broken up by a bankruptcy court and the pieces sold off. Remington's former insurance companies settled.

And those insurance companies are not part of the firearms industry. Not quite the same as the Smith & Wesson settlement with the Clinton administration.
