Lawful commerce in arms

Seems a stretch to me to sue a gun maker for the failings of state and local laws. But lawyers do lawyer things. Doubt much comes of it. I’m not a lawyer.

    Beemiller (I just realized, sorry if this is old news to everyone else) is also known as “HI-POINT.”

    It is well known that Hi-Point pistols are striker-fired, but do not have a firing-pin-block. I wonder if the lawsuit was initiated because of this?

    Seems the appellate judge decided that the Lawful Commerce in Arms Act which forbids that type of lawsuit really does not mean what it says.

    It just means it will take longer and cost more for the manufacturer and distributor to get out from
    under. Or is that the strategy, to make it cost
    so much that settling becomes cheaper?

    Too bad judges enjoy absolute soverign immunity.

    stay safe.

    “Although the complaint does not specify the statutes allegedly violated (by the defendants), it sufficiently alleges facts supporting a finding that defendants knowingly violated federal gun laws,” Justice Erin Peradotto wrote for the court.

    How is it that a judge can write something as patently stupid as that and still find her way to the courthouse?

    They don’t specify the laws that are broken, but it’s clear that laws were broken? WTF?

    While I am not a Hi-Point fan, I don’t see them causing anything. That said, I do think I smell a straw man in the barn. Still, not the manufacturer’s fault. I blame the dweeb that thinks he can avoid the middle man.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
