Supreme Court To Hear Mexican Gov’t Lawsuit
From Guns.com:
First filed in 2021, the $10 billion suit – supported by no less than a dozen anti-gun states such as Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Illinois – sought to put some of the biggest names in the American gun industry including Barrett, Beretta, Century Arms, Colt, Glock, Ruger, and Smith & Wesson on the hook for the out-of-control narco cartel violence that has plagued Mexico since 2006.
A federal judge tossed the suit in October 2022, citing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act prevented the claim, but Mexico pushed the issue and appealed to the Massachusetts-based U.S. First Circuit Court, which kept the case alive and handed the issue to a lower court in Boston.
Lawsuits Threaten Gun Industry
From National Review:
In 2005, a wave of lawsuits threatened to bankrupt the gun industry. These suits were based on — pick your adjective — “creative,†“novel,†“inventive,†and “imaginative†legal theories that rarely held up in court, and they did their damage primarily by forcing gun companies to incur the costs of defending against them. Congress, seeing the problem, stepped in to put a stop to it — or at least tried to — by passing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA).
A decade and a half later, anti-gun activists have responded with yet more new legal theories, and the Connecticut courts have bought one of them. Some families victimized by the Newtown massacre are being allowed to pursue a wrongful-death claim against Remington, which owns Bushmaster, the company that made the rifle used in the attack.
Weatherby Moves To Wyoming
Weatherby Moves From California To Wyoming
From San Louis Obispo:
Weatherby is the latest gun industry manufacturer to move its operations to Wyoming in the last five years from states that were not seen as friendly to the gun industry. Several companies, including Magpul Industries, moved their manufacturing operations to Wyoming from Colorado after Colorado lawmakers enacted stricter limits on the sale of firearms accessories.
More gun manufacturers need to do the same. Looking at you Springfield, Remington et al.
Arsenal Halts California Compliant Rifles
From Arsenal:
Arsenal Inc. appreciates the 2nd Amendment supporters and our enthusiasts from California and we remain dedicated to “The Right to Bear Arms†for everyone.
However, given the current laws and regulations in California and with less than 3 months left for the new laws to take effect, we regret to announce that the production of two of our California compliant rifles, the SAM7SF-84C and SAM7UF-85C has come to an end as of October 10th, 2016. All components for making the SAM7UF and SAM7SF into fixed stock California compliant rifles have been manufactured and the last units have rolled out of our production lines.
