The new law applies to third party acts and this lawsuit I believe is for manufacturer negligence.

The new law only put gun manufacturers in the same position as any other industry. Any comnpany can be sued for a defective products, as is being done in this case.

The new law targets political lawsuits that attempted to ascribe special responsibilities of liability for third party use to gun manufacturers.
