Members’ Newsletter: Federal Gun Industry Protections Take Hit in Court
This week, the Second Circuit Court upheld New York’s public nuisance law, allowing easier lawsuits against gun businesses for third-party criminal actions. This ruling, indicative of a broader trend, marks a significant setback for the gun industry’s efforts against state laws that violate the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). Notably, it’s the first merits ruling that explicitly challenges the PLCAA’s protections. Additionally, a new lawsuit has been filed against revised National Firearms Act (NFA) regulations. Legal experts predict that while the arguments are valid, challenges around standing and varying interpretations of Congress’s regulatory powers will complicate the plaintiffs’ case.
