Gun control advocates, though, are exploring ways to do an end run around the law by using consumer protection laws to go after gunmakers, and the pursuit of Smith & Wesson in New Jersey may become the test case indicating whether the effort will be replicated across the country against all firearms companies.

Is Smith & Wesson Facing the Same Risk That Helped Bankrupt Remington?
Just as automakers aren't held liable for criminals driving cars while on a crime spree, the 2005 Protections of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act protects firearms manufacturers like Smith & Wesson Brands (NASDAQ:SWBI) and Sturm, Ruger (NYSE:RGR) from being held responsible for crimes committed with their products.

The commie left using their criminal coconspirators in the judiciary are making an end run around the PLCAA Act. They will literally do ANYTHING to destroy the 2nd Amendment, disarm us and eradicate the firearms industry. Law mean NOTHING to the left....never has unless a law can be used to serve their agenda. If not it's simply ignored.
ReplyDeleteSurely a consumer protection law would only be defensable in a suicide case?
ReplyDeleteThey want guns - all arms, really - gone and are willing to do everything to accomplish that. Those who would like to keep their arms have shown themselves unwilling to do much of anything to keep them. The endgame is pretty much a given.
ReplyDeleteJoe's plan is to take our guns and give them to his friends at the Taliban, ISIS and Al Qaeda.
ReplyDeleteWe can squash that plan....don't let 'em have our cleaning kits..../s
DeleteThe answer just might be for the gun manufacturers to stop selling guns to ANY governmental agency in those states. That will happen anyway if they succeed in putting the manufacturers out of business, so why not give them what they want?

ReplyDelete> why not give them what they want?
What they want is to collect the weapons of the uselessly armed populace. One government agency, telling another government agency, to "do" the public, "allows" the doing agency to cry and moan, about how much they hate doing this, to you. Again. So you can buy them all more bullets and sammiches. Again.
