Remington, which made the gun used in the 2012 massacre, has received the disciplinary records, report cards and employment records of several victims.
Remington Arms subpoenaed the report cards, attendance and employment records for five children and four educators killed in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School as part of a lawsuit brought by the victimsā families.
Lawyers for the families filed a motion to seal the information on Thursday, citing a previous order that kept Remingtonās proprietary business information from being shared in the course of the proceedings. The filing argues that sharing the records ā which the school district has released to Remingtonās lawyers ā amounts to an insensitive invasion of privacy.
āWe have no explanation for why Remington subpoenaed the Newtown Public School District to obtain the kindergarten and first-grade academic, attendance and disciplinary records of these five school children,ā the familiesā lead attorney, Josh Koskoff, said in a statement to HuffPost.
The company has been embroiled in litigation with Sandy Hook families since 2014. Two years earlier, a man walked into the Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school with a Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle and used it to kill 26 people, including 20 children between the ages of 6 and 7. The families argue that the gun manufacturer should be held accountable for marketing a military-grade weapon to civilians.
āThe records cannot possibly excuse Remingtonās egregious marketing conduct, or be of any assistance in estimating the catastrophic damages in this case,ā Koskoff said. āThe only relevant part of their attendance records is that they were at their desks on December 14, 2012.ā
Remingtonās attorneys did not immediately respond to HuffPostās request for comment.

This seems extraordinarily bizarre to me! Does anyone have any logical guess as to why Remington would be doing this? A dead child is a dead child.
