The lawsuit filed by law firm Koskoff, Koskoff and Bieder argues that the Bushmaster AR-15 rifle shouldn’t have been released to the public and belongs only in the hands of military and law enforcement personnel. The 2012 mass shooting left 20 children and six educators dead.

Remington maintains that certain documents are proprietary commercial information that could cause financial harm to the company and benefit its competitors, according to its motion for a protective order. It includes proprietary market research and sales strategies.

The first sworn depositions will take place this week and Remington marketing and sales team members are scheduled to be deposed.
