In another gun related issue, a federal judge in California (of all places!) dismissed a "public nuisance" lawsuit against a gun manufacturer and a gun distributor on Monday, invoking a new federal law intended to protect the gun industry from politically motivated lawsuits.
The new federal law that was invoked in dismissing the frivolous "public nuisance" lawsuit is the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, signed into law by President Bush in October of 2005, designed to protect gun manufacturers and distributors from such frivolous lawsuits.
The NRA said that this is the first time the PLCA Act has been invoked to dismiss a case against a gun manufacturer and/or gun dealer, but you can be sure it won't be the last.
