This video critically analyzes Resolution 604 passed by the American Bar Association (ABA), which urges Congress to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) and encourages states to enact laws allowing civil litigation against firearms manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. The speaker argues this move is primarily driven by the financial interests of plaintiff's attorneys seeking to access 'deep pockets' rather than genuine public safety concerns. The video details the ABA's stated justifications, including claims of insufficient industry controls and the theory of 'knowing overs supply,' while refuting them by highlighting existing legal exceptions to PLCAA and the focus on individual responsibility.

This analysis from Armed Scholar details the critical Supreme Court case Smith & Wesson v. Mexico, focusing on the potential impact of piercing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). The case could hold US firearm manufacturers liable for cartel violence in Mexico, potentially leading to industry-crippling lawsuits and backdoor gun control measures. The Supreme Court's review is crucial for the future of the Second Amendment and the firearms industry.

This video analyzes recent court decisions dismissing challenges to gun control laws in New Jersey and San Jose, California. The core reason for dismissal in both cases is that the lawsuits were filed too early, before enforcement began, meaning no actual injury or harm could be demonstrated. This legal strategy by gun control advocates is seen as painting them into a corner, as enforcement will trigger new legal challenges.
