On February 22, Christopher Renzulli appeared before Judge Barbara Bellis in the Fairfield Judicial District Superior Court in Bridgeport, Connecticut to argue a motion to dismiss a major firearms distributor from litigation that arises out of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on December 12, 2012. The manufacturer, distributor and retailer of the AR-15 rifle used by Adam Lanza are defendants in the lawsuit brought by representatives of the nine persons killed, one person injured and the spouse of one of the persons killed by Adam Lanza at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. The motion to dismiss asks the Court to dismiss the case based upon the immunity provided to firearms manufacturers, distributors and dealers pursuant to the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). Oral argument lasted a few hours and the Court reserved a ruling until a later date. Articles were published far and wide, including in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Times and The Guardian.
