The Truth Behind Remington's $73 Million Settlement With Sandy Hook Survivors

About this video

Colion analyzes the $73 million Remington settlement with Sandy Hook families, arguing it was driven by insurance companies rather than gun manufacturer liability. He contends the plaintiffs’ attorney exploited a Connecticut law exception to the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLACA) to bypass protections against frivolous lawsuits, and that the settlement was about financially damaging the gun industry rather than establishing legal precedent or saving lives.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues the settlement was paid by Remington’s insurers, not the gun company itself, and demonstrates no finding of manufacturer liability since the case never went to trial
• According to Colion, the plaintiffs used a Connecticut advertising law to circumvent PLACA protections, which he describes as designed to prevent lawsuits blaming manufacturers for criminal misuse of firearms
• Colion contends the lawsuit strategy aims to bankrupt gun companies through prolonged litigation costs rather than win on legal merits, exploiting the difference between plaintiff contingency fees and defendant hourly legal costs
