The “Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act” hasn’t protected gun manufacturers from being sued. The lawyers just changed their tactics.
They are now suing based on marketing or advertising. It has worked, we just lost Remington because they could no longer afford to defend themselves in these lawsuits. I assume that is why they want old Smith & Wesson advertising info.
Even if companies can stay in business we will carry the burden of these baseless lawsuits in increased gun prices.
Remington's demise was the result of far more than any lawsuit.
