Dumping? It has nothing to do with dumping. They were being targeted by democrat controlled cities attempting to sue them all into bankruptcy supposedly to cover the costs incurred by those cities due to “gun violence”.
The first bill passed specifically targeted protecting firearms and ammunition manufacturers and later bills extended the same protections to all manufacturers in the US who might also be targeted under similar pretexts.
I think attempting to sue the Opioid manufacturers is equally unconstitutional and idiotic.
Holding any manufacturer of a lawful product liable for unlawful or irresponsible use of their products liable for same should be repugnant to everyone.
The history of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act and the subsequent agreement negotiated by President Clinton and then abandoned by President Bush are well documented… It was in all the newspapers…
Try reading your own cited articles before posting them.
The complaint called $433 million a “conservative estimate” of expenses incurred since 1994 in Chicago and Cook County in responding to gun violence, including costs of police, hospital care and jails.
Holy smokes… I guess your internet law degree didn’t cover the difference between damages and the actual tort alleged… The tort or alleged wrongful act was, according the to the very same article:
Chicago has strict laws against handgun ownership, and the suit contends that gun makers saturate outlying areas with more weapons than could possibly be sold to legal buyers, and know that thousands will be purchased for use in Chicago, including by gang members and crooks.
The DAMAGES or liability was the cost of police, hospital care and jails… The plaintiff in a civil suit PROVES to the jury the tort and receives DAMAGES for the liability… Let me know if you would like further instruction on civil lawsuits…
