Today the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decided to not hear an appeal from Remington Arms (RA) seeking to prevent a lawsuit by the families who lost their children from a massacre caused by one young white male wielding an assault rifle manufactured by RA at Sandy Hook elementary school.
RA sought to dismiss the lawsuit saying that it had protections under 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which offers very, very broad immunity, but obviously not broad enough.
SCOTUS, in its landmark DC vs Heller decision, the majority stated that the Second Amendment is not without limits, but it failed to specifically state those limits. Obviously there is one now even though I am not certain of the limit.
Hopefully, gun manufacturers going forward will seek to limit gun sales to individuals deemed responsible and who will not violate others's unalienable rights while exercising their own Second Amendment right.
