The fight over New York’s gun-industry liability law is getting bigger, and the message now reaching the U.S. Supreme Court is hard to miss: this is not just a trade dispute, and it is not just another blue-state consumer protection case dressed up in legal jargon. According to two major amicus briefs filed in support of certiorari in National Shooting Sports Foundation, Inc. v. Letitia James, New York is trying to do through lawfare what anti-gun politicians have failed to do through the normal legislative process—use the courts to choke off the lawful commerce in arms.
One of those briefs comes from the National Rifle Association, Second Amendment Foundation, American Suppressor Association, and Independence Institute. The other comes from Montana and 23 additional states. Together, they make a serious and layered argument:
New York’s statute is an attempt to sidestep the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), revive the same kind of junk litigation Congress barred in 2005, and let one hostile state pressure gun makers and sellers across the country to live under New York’s anti-gun policies.
