The shootings in Missouri today are another clarion call: every state in the U.S. can and should enact statutes to ground civil suits against irresponsible #gun manufacturers and sellers. The gun industry is fighting these statutes in court. I explain and defend the desirability, lawfulness, and constitutionality of such statutes in this article, forthcoming in Yale Law Journal Forum. Neither #PLCAA nor the #SecondAmendment invalidate these laws. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Dw3rMKXX1DlHKa9GXk1bojxSgYUxsP8r/view?usp=drivesdk #LawFedi #KansasCity

How #SecondAmendment #Radicals Are Attacking #Laws Meant to Keep #Firearms Out of the Wrong Hands
An investigation by The Trace & Rolling Stone exposes the ugly campaign to undermine a bipartisan compromise to stop #MassShootings
Susan Webb stood w/her colleague on Parks Rd. The Chesapeake Bay & the abandoned store w/the sagging roof were behind them, the smell of discarded crab lingering in the air.

#SCOTUS announced on Monday that it would NOT hear a major #SecondAmendment challenge to a Maryland #law banning #SemiautomaticRifles like the #AR15. As is the court’s practice, its brief order gave no reasons.
The move, over the objections of 3 conservative justices, let the ban stand & reflected the court’s intermittent engagement with #GunRights. It has issued only 3 significant #2A decisions since recognizing an individual right to own #guns in 2008.
