This video from Colion Noir, an authoritative voice in firearms commentary, dissects a lawsuit against Glock for its pistols' concealability.

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.
