This video from Colion Noir, an authoritative voice in firearms commentary, dissects a lawsuit against Glock for its pistols' concealability. Noir argues that the lawsuit misplaces blame on the tool rather than the user, drawing parallels to suing car manufacturers for speeding. He highlights the legal precedent set by Castle Rock v. Gonzalez, where the Supreme Court ruled police have no duty to protect individuals, contrasting it with the ability to sue gun manufacturers. The core argument is that such lawsuits aim to bankrupt the gun industry by circumventing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) through claims about marketing and design, posing a threat to the entire firearms industry.
