USSC UPHOLDS THE LAW and COMMON SENSE

Monday, May 24, 2010


The National Rifle Association praised the U.S. Supreme Court's
refusal today to hear an appeal in the case of Ileto v. Glock.

The lower courts' decisions in the case were among the first to use
the NRA-backed Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act as the basis
for dismissing a reckless “public nuisance” lawsuit against firearm
manufacturers and distributors. This decision concludes eight years
of litigation in the case.

The suit sought to blame firearms manufacturers and dealers for
the horrendous criminal actions of deranged white supremacist
Buford Furrow. In 1999, Furrow killed postal worker Joseph Ileto and
wounded three children at a Jewish Community Center in Grenada
Hills, California, after illegally acquiring firearms.

“This is the right decision. Greedy trial lawyers and the gun control
lobby concocted these bogus lawsuits as a means of destroying
the Second Amendment through bankrupting the American firearms industry.
Thanks to this law, firearms manufacturers and dealers cannot be
held responsible for the acts of heinous criminals,” said Chris W. Cox,
executive director, NRA Institute for Legislative Action.
