Indiana Court Shuts Down 27-Year-Old Lawsuit Against Gun Manufacturers
The Indiana Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from the city of Gary, effectively ending a 27-year-old lawsuit against 11 gun manufacturers. The lawsuit sought damages and measures to address gun violence, which the city claimed resulted from the manufacturers' negligence. This decision follows a series of laws passed in Indiana that limit the ability to sue gun manufacturers.
- ▪The city of Gary filed the lawsuit in August 1999, seeking accountability from gun manufacturers for gun violence.
- ▪The Indiana Supreme Court voted 4-1 to reject the city's appeal, upholding a previous ruling that dismissed the case.
- ▪Brady United criticized the decision, claiming it undermines efforts to hold the gun industry accountable for public health issues.
