D.C. Courst Upholds DIsmissal of Lawsuit Against Gun Makers





A unanimous District of Columbia Court of Appeals upheld a May 2006 decision dismissing a lawsuit against the firearms industry filed in January 2000 by the District of Columbia and the families of nine victims of criminal shootings. The district and the plaintiffs had sued 25 manufacturers under D.C.'s so-called Assault Weapons Manufacturing Strict Liability Act. "This ruling is very gratifying to members of the firearms industry," said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF senior vice president and general counsel. "The District of Columbia lawsuit was like blaming car makers for drunk-driving accidents."
