California Judge Rules That Shooting Victims Can Sue Smith And Wesson!

This video details two significant legislative victories in Kentucky: House Bill 78, which recodifies the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) at the state level, shielding firearm manufacturers and sellers from most lawsuits related to criminal misuse of their products; and House Bill 312, which lowers the age for obtaining a concealed carry permit to 18, allowing those aged 18-20 to obtain a provisional license. Both bills were passed by the legislature with substantial majorities, vetoed by Governor Andy Beshear, and subsequently overridden by the legislature, demonstrating a strong legislative push to protect Second Amendment rights and the firearms industry.

The Supreme Court's ruling in Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos reinforces the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), shielding gun manufacturers from lawsuits unless they are directly aiding and abetting criminal activity.

This decision sends a strong message to the White House and the global community regarding accountability for gun violence.

The court affirmed that gun manufacturers are generally shielded under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), preventing lawsuits unless direct aiding and abetting of criminal acts can be proven. This ruling emphasizes that responsibility for gun violence and smuggling lies with "red flag stores" and governmental border enforcement, not the manufacturers themselves.

This video discusses the Supreme Court's unanimous 9-0 decision in Cox Communications v. Sony, which significantly benefits the Second Amendment and the gun industry.

This video discusses the Supreme Court's unanimous 9-0 decision in a case involving the Martins, who were victims of an FBI wrong-house raid. The core issue revolves around the discretionary function exception under the Federal Tort Claims Act, which the government uses to claim immunity. The Supreme Court's ruling clarified that simply exercising judgment does not automatically grant immunity, and the government must demonstrate that decisions were grounded in actual policy considerations, not mere mistakes. The 11th Circuit is now rehearing arguments in light of this precedent, with judges appearing skeptical of the government's broad claims of immunity for operational failures.
