Court Also Rejects DC/Lawson Case

NEWTOWN, Conn. -- Putting an end to nine years of litigation, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear New York City's request to continue a lawsuit that sought to hold firearms manufacturers responsible for the criminal misuse of firearms.

"We are very pleased by today's ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court to not review lower appellate court rulings that dismissed cases based on the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act," said Steve Sanetti, president of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, trade association for the firearms industry. "These baseless lawsuits against responsible, law-abiding companies are the type that Congress intended to prevent by passing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act."

Throughout the 2008 Presidential election campaign, Buckeye Firearms Association, the National Rifle Association and other pro-gun organizations sought to make gun owners aware of the clear and present danger that a President Barack Obama would be to the Second Amendment. One group, however, while claiming to be pro-gun, endorsed Obama, and went out of its way to attack the NRA and anyone else who suggested that a vote for Obama was a vote for gun control.

The anti-gun pedigree of the founders and leadership of that pro-Obama group, which calls itself the American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA), is well documented. Yet it would appear from a recent press release from AHSA President Ray Schoenke that even he failed to realize that he was being used by a candidate who had every intention of aggressively pushing for gun control once he assumed power.

The Washington Post is reporting that a group of pro-concealed carry students at James Madison University attempted to educate their peers recently with a bit of roll-playing.
