Judge Barbara Bellis Dismisses Sandy Hook Families’ Case Against Remington
BY Herschel Smith

By now you’ve heard that Judge Barbara Bellis dismissed the case against Remington. Good. But she should have done this long ago. The only people who got rich here were the lawyers. I have no desire to analyze what she said. It’s a waste of my time.
Early on she said the law “does not prevent lawyers for the families of Sandy Hook victims from arguing that the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle is a military weapon and should not have been sold to civilians.” Now she says it does. Here’s my analysis. She has her sights set on higher things, and wants eventually to be considered for some higher judicial post. She can’t make an idiotic ruling that gets reversed by the Supreme Court of Connecticut or the United States and keep that hope alive. I suspect this was entirely self serving.

Makes sense. She got her name out there, showed contempt for the 2A but keeps her current job. Marketing? I think you might be right Herschel.

By allowing the case to proceed to this point she has allowed “Discovery” to occur. First thought that came to mind to me was what was included in the discovery and how might it be used in the future….

If Remington ever complied, which I don’t know. If they did, you make a good point.

They likely moved to dismiss, and to table discovery until the motion was decided by the court.

Well, Remington moved to dismiss several times, all rejected by communist judge Barbara Bellis. She delayed any such actions until after discovery. Whether Remington complied is another story.

A self-serving judge? This is my shocked face…
