I thought the Lawful Commerce in Arms Act prevented these kinds of nonsensical lawsuits? Or does it just stop governments from trying to sue gun businesses out of existence?
I’m just guessing that the act you mentioned bars lawsuits that are based on a premise that the firearm is defective, unreasonably dangerous, etc. This case is premised on negligence or similar in making a straw sale. It’s against the retail seller, not against the manufacturer of the gun.
