Proximate Cause
[T]he proximate-cause issue, in limbo will result in continuing legal uncertainty and ongoing attacks on the industry facilitated by courts that are allowing the most extreme theories of proximate cause in which remoteness is disregarded. [More]
The antis and their robed agents on the bench are counting on it.
Me, I’m still wondering which “State or Federal statute applicable to the sale or marketing of the product” is legitimately Constitutional.

Suing Instead of Solving
The Glock switch distraction [More]
As a tangentially-related aside, with the death of Gene Hackman happening while I was gone, I caught 2003’s Runaway Jury last night for the first time (co-starring the handsy Little Big Mouth). What a piece of crap primer in cartoonish anti-gun scripting and legal incompetence/ malpractice/ lawbreaking that I recommend seeing if for no other reason than to slap your forehead at the clumsiness of the attacks, and to appreciate how 2005’s Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act shields us from much such subversive nonsense, but not enough.

We’re the Only Ones Switching Enough
I see comments are turned off and it didn’t record my “Down” vote.
Think I’ll get my question answered?
What a nasty little bitch Matt Platkin is.

Missed One
We talked about New Jersey suing Glock.
This is the kind of attack a rights-protecting Justice Department would be fighting.

Not a Prerequisite
Imagine filing lawsuit against Glock, getting five paragraphs in, and admitting you fundamentally don’t understand how the gun even works [More]
So… are New Jersey “Only Ones” going to give up theirs?

Why SCOTUS Should Nuke Mexico’s Bogus Lawsuit Against U.S. Gun Manufacturers [More]
I think they will, and in a rational world it would be 7 -0. OOPS.
I also think those bringing such suits ought to pay. Bigly.

Stop Me if You’ve Heard This One Before
The Other Side in a Nutshell
This is why it’s fruitless to “debate” with with obnoxious, self-entitled fanatics who are too stupid to realize how wrong they are, and who presume to teach but don’t even belong in the class without passing the prerequisites.

Mayor’s Assassination Shows Mexican Government Can Only Operate with Consent of Cartels
Mexican prohibitionists ignoring the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act to effect U.S. citizen disarmament are creatures that can only operate at the behest of cartel monsters who decapitate to terrorize. [More]
Who thinks the Framers included the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights so that animals from a failed narco-terrorist state abetted by treasonous domestic subversives could render it toothless through lawfare?
Mexican Standoff
Supreme Court Will Hear Gun Industry Challenge to Mexico’s Lawsuit – “Simply put, Mexico’s suit threatens to undermine American sovereignty and constitutional liberty, and it has no business in this country’s courts.” [More]
I expect our side to win. What I’m most curious of is what the Democrat judges will do, and how they will rationalize their arguments if they side with Mexico.
Between SCOTUS now taking on both this and frames/receivers, how any gun owner can justify not voting and letting Kamala Harris reshape the Court is beyond me.

A Public/Private Partnership
This lengthy lawsuit by the Maryland and D.C. attorneys general, as well as Everytown Law, accuses Engage Armament, LLC, United Gun Shop and Atlantic Guns, Inc. of ignoring clear signs of illegal gun sales. The lawsuit claims the purchases happened in Montgomery County, but led to gun violence across the area. [More]
Of course “background checks” aren’t enough — they were never intended to be.
I’m just surprised NSSF hasn’t joined in the pile-on.

Going with What Works
Both the White House and ATF have turned down multiple House Oversight inquiries into charges of ‘collusion’ with Chicago’s lawsuit against Glock [More]
