In this January 28, 2013, file photo, firearms training unit Detective Barbara J. Mattson, of the Connecticut State Police, holds up a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle, the same make and model of gun used by Adam Lanza in the Sandy Hook School shooting, during a hearing of a legislative subcommittee, at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford, Conn. Lawyers for the company that made the rifle Lanza used at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 are expected to ask a Connecticut judge Monday, Feb. 22, 2016, to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit filed by families of some of the massacre victims. Freedom Group, the Madison, North Carolina parent company of AR-15 maker Bushmaster Firearms, says it�s protected by a 2005 federal law that shields gun manufacturers from most lawsuits over criminal use of their products.
