A brief has been submitted to the Connecticut Supreme Court calling for the lawsuit by some Sandy Hook families against the manufacturer of the AR-15 to be reinstated.  Attorney Josh Koskoff argues that what happened on 12-14 was not an accident, but rather "gratuitous, senseless proof...[that]...preparation is no match for an AR-15”. 

The case by 10 families was dismissed last year when the judge ruled that Remington is protected by federal law against claims when people misuse firearms.  The new brief maintains that Remington was liable, saying the company negligently marketed the weapon. 

Remington has until May 1st to respond. 

The company has said in the past that they manufactured a legal gun that was lawfully sold.
