The Philips' fight to take down the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act via their advocacy of "Jessi's Law" is most compelling. My first response was to ascertain how my state, Indiana, stands on the issue, and the answer seems to be that it is immune from lawsuits as the Philips' Colorado. Then I rememberd that the Biden comments describing the gun industry's special immunity from lawsuits as "outrageous" attracted a lot of pushback and was deemed by critics to be an inaccurate characterization: after all, the Sandy Hook families who sued Remington Arms Company settled for what sounded like a large sum. In short, I realize I am confused about the law(s) -- state and federal -- on this vital aspect in the national debate on guns.
