JPFO Mythbust: The Dick Act and Gun Control

Much has been said about the "Dick Act", to the extent that is has been assumed to be a reliable protection against any and all 'gun control' measures.

It would appear this is not the case at all, and to help explain it we offer two essays by David Kopel and David Hardy, both much respected friends of JPFO. The battle to hold on to our innalienable rights has to continue unabated.

 In addition, it might be worth checking back also to our recent article by David Hardy, looking in depth at the legal background of the National Guard.

Alaska: Federal Gun-Shop Liability Under Review

From a story in today's Anchorage Daily News:

WASHINGTON -- A Bush-era federal law that protects gun dealers from liability for murders committed with guns from their shops is under attack in an Alaska court, and that has led the Justice Department and gun-control activists to intervene in the case.

At issue is whether a Juneau gun dealer is liable for letting a disheveled homeless felon leave his store with a rifle, which he used to murder a total stranger. The family of the murder victim, Anchorage contractor Simone Kim, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit that has made it to the Alaska Supreme Court.

The Kims are challenging the constitutionality of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which effectively protects the gun industry from most lawsuits.
