I had been following this case a little as it was going because a buddy of mine works with the law firm representing the families. Its a pretty interesting issue. Like the post with the footnotes said, there are laws to limit liability against the gun manufacturers so people cant sue them when their products kill people but there is an exception if the manufacturer advertises in an illegal or false way.
IIRC, the case survived a motion to dismiss filed by the defense citing that liability law. When the motion was denied it was kind of expected to settle and not go to trial. There was a settlement offer in the 30 mil range at one point so this was a much better result.
I dont think the causal link issue was as much of a problem as has been suggested. The real threat was having the case go to a jury.
