Until the loser pays the defendants attorney fees the frivilous lawsuits will never end.
I would suspect that the mechanism for a gun suit would be the injury or death of some person. There are product liability laws which make it actionable to put a dangerous product into tthe stream of commerce.
A liability carrier should provide coverage. A lawsuit is not necessarily frivolous if made on these grounds, but if the jurisdiction has already considered such suits, and found no claim, then the attorney for the plaintiff can be hit for damages (sanctioned) for pursuing a frivolous case.
This is usually at Rule 11 (Court Rules) and will read something like: The signature of the attorny constitutes a certificate that he has read the suit and believes it grounded in fact, and warranted by existing law, or a good faith argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of such law.
Contrary to popular belief, most courts in this country do not look with favor on frivolous cases, and most plaintiff’s attorneys can not afford to pursue them.
