Tom Gresham's GUNTALK: 11.01.15 - Part C

Published on November 2, 2015
Duration: 44:45

This video discusses the arrest and suspension of an eighth-grader for wearing an NRA t-shirt with a rifle graphic. It highlights the prosecutor's subsequent issues due to arachnophobia, leading to his own suspension after pulling a gun on coworkers over Halloween decorations. The segment also touches on the legal protections for the firearms industry against frivolous lawsuits and the controversy surrounding smart gun technology.

Quick Summary

The firearms industry has legal protections against frivolous lawsuits, primarily through the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). This law prevents holding manufacturers and sellers responsible for the misuse of their products by third parties, though it does not shield them from liability for defective products or illegal activities.
