"WASHINGTON (CN) — The Supreme Court refused Tuesday to intervene in a lawsuit against Remington Arms by a survivor of the Sandy Hook Elementary School and several relatives of some of the 26 people killed with the gunmaker’s rifle.
Led by Donna Soto, the suit is among dozens of cases denied certiorari this morning by the Supreme Court. The justices did not take up any cases since Friday when they took up a trademark case involving the website Booking.com.
Remington had argued in its petition for certiorari that a 2005 federal law shields firearms manufacturers from liability over their products being used in crimes.
Though a trial court in Connecticut initially dismissed the lawsuit under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, the Connecticut Supreme Court found 4-3 that the lawsuit could proceed based on a statutory exemption."

Doesn't mean they'll support the verdict however.
