Meanwhile, frontrunner Democratic Presidential candidate Hilary Clinton has intensified her focus on anti-gun violence, holding a rally in New Hampshire and promising to try to close background check loopholes and allow gun violence victims to
sue arms manufacturers.
The defendants contend they are not eligible to be
sued due to the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in
Arms Act, signed by George W. Bush, which protects
manufacturers and distributors of firearms from liability.
