But not much\u2019<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t seem right (nor is it right) that Remington should be held liable for the acts of a madman, nor does it seem right (nor is it right) that the gun industry should be held responsible for the rampant gang violence in Baltimore.&nbsp; But that is precisely what will happen if that \u201ccrack\u201d in the PLCCA doesn\u2019t get filled by the courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Connecticut Supreme Court in March ruled that Remington cannot be sued for simply selling the rifle reportedly used in the attack but it can be sued for its questionable marketing practices (the supposed \u201ccrack\u201d). &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCongress did not intend to immunize firearms suppliers who engage in truly unethical and irresponsible marketing practices promoting criminal conduct,\u201d the court said. \u201cIt falls to a jury to decide whether the promotional schemes alleged in the present case rise to the level of illegal trade practices and whether fault for the tragedy can be laid at their feet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, this is \u201cabsurd,\u201d as Second Amendment Foundation Founder Alan Gottlieb told GunsAmerica in an email. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDid the advertising even remotely suggest that the Bushmaster is best for murdering people?\u201d he added. \u201cThat\u2019s a stretch of credulity worthy of surgical elastic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there is a chance that these families win the suit.\u00a0 Which would, as mentioned, create a precedent whereby the ads of every gun maker would be cited as a reason why an act of violence was perpetrated. It wouldn\u2019t be the criminal\u2019s fault, it would be the gun maker\u2019s fault. Lawsuits would pile up, insurance premiums would skyrocket and the gun industry would go belly up.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solicitor Davis got one thing right.&nbsp; We will all be watching to see what happens. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>City leaders in Baltimore are looking to sue gun makers for the city\u2019s escalating violence. &nbsp; Solicitor Andre Davis said Tuesday that the firearms industry should be held accountable for its role in the over 300 homicides the city witnessed so far this year.
