U.S. Court of Appeals Puts "Final Nail in Coffin" of Hamilton V. Accu-Tek
Robert T. Delfay |
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
has continued the
string of crushing defeats for reckless lawsuits designed to bankrupt
law-abiding gun manufacturers, according to a release put out today by
the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).
While NRA has not had
an opportunity to review yesterday's ruling in
Hamilton v. Accu-Tek,
NSSF President Robert T. Delfay stated, "The unanimous Second Circuit
Court opinion reinforced an earlier unanimous decision by the New York
Court of Appeals that there was no evidence and no basis in law to hold
firearms manufacturers responsible for the criminal misuse of their
product. We trust this puts the final nail in the coffin of this
distasteful experiment to harass legal and responsible manufacturers
through unproven and convoluted legal theory."

release on this ruling on its website, at www.nssf.org.
