This is a bad decision by the Connecticut Supreme Court that could allow victims of a car bombing terrorist to sue the car manufacturer

Washington Post:
Families of Sandy Hook shooting victims can sue gunmaker, court says
Connecticut’s Supreme Court ruled that Remington can be sued over its marketing of the Bushmaster rifle, which was used to kill 20 children and six educators in 2012.
 This ruling should be reversed by the US Supreme Court.  It has 2nd Amendment implications that would allow states to infringe on the rights granted by that amendment.  It is a decision that appears to be based more on anger about the actions of a guy with a psychological disorder who used a gun to kill innocent people. 

Guns have become an emotional issue for some on the left whose first impulse when there is a shooting like this one is to disarm the innocent.  They are implying vicarious liability to people who had nothing to do with the crime. 

If a homicidal maniac loaded a Chevy pickup with explosives and drove it into a classroom of kids and exploded it would the court hold General Motors liable?

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
