CHICAGO LAWSUIT DISMISSED. . . In a unanimous decision, the Illinois Supreme Court last week rejected the City of Chicago's attempt to blame gun makers for the criminal misuse of firearms within the city. In rejecting Chicago's case the court ruled that gun makers do not owe a “duty to the city of Chicago or its residents to prevent their firearms from ending up in the hands of persons who use and possess them illegally.” The court concluded that the “matter of regulating the manufacture, distribution, and sale of firearms” was best left to the legislature, not the courts. “Today's decision is the latest in a long list of appellate court decisions that have rejected politically motivated 'junk' lawsuits that have tried to blame the makers of well-made, lawfully sold firearms for the actions of criminals,” said Lawrence G. Keane, senior vice president and general counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearm industry's trade association. At the same time, the court also dismissed a suit brought by five Chicago residents who had sued firearm manufacturers, distributors and dealers under the same "public nuisance" theory.

All these lawsuits against gun makers are bogus. The same people who file these,probably wouldn't think twice about drinking and driving. If they were to hit me while DWI,can I sue them,the bar that sold the alcoholic beverages and the Manufacturer? It'd prove to be an interesting lawsuit!
