Gun makers to appeal ruling that allows gun lawsuit to continue
Nov 27, 2006 11:04 AM EST
Indianapolis - Gun manufacturers are appealing a Lake County judge's ruling that declared unconstitutional a year-old federal law shielding gun makers from lawsuits.
The judge's ruling allows the city of Gary's lawsuit to continue against 16 gun makers and six northern Indiana gun dealers. Attorneys for gun companies filed initial paperwork last week for an appeal.
The city's lawsuit alleges manufacturers and gun dealers sold handguns they knew would end up in criminals' hands. Gun manufacturers had sought to have the case dismissed under a law passed by Congress in 2005.
The law grants the industry broad protections from municipalities and victims seeking damages for gun violence.
