Another Defeat for Anti-Gunners in Court
Last Friday, the
3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld last year's
rejection of Camden County's (N.J.) reckless lawsuit. The
original
ruling by U.S. District Judge Jerome B. Simandle was unanimously upheld
by a three-judge panel, and the
National Shooting Sports Foundation
(NSSF) called Friday's decision "one of the most strongly worded
opinions to date from an appellate court ruling in the municipal
lawsuits against the firearm industry."
This decision continues the
trend of crushing defeats for the anti-gun movement's ongoing campaign
to drive law-abiding gun manufacturers into bankruptcy through countless
reckless lawsuits.
"The Third Circuit's decision is the latest in an
unbroken string of appellate court defeats for those that would hold
manufacturers of legal, highly regulated, non-defective products
responsible for the criminal misuse of their products. The courts have
thoroughly discredited this notion," said
Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Vice
President and general counsel. "The time has come in America for those
few remaining politicians to drop their frivolous suits."
