Video Summary
The city of Philadelphia is suing JSD Supply and Polymer 80, claiming that they are a nuisance and negligent. However, there is a catch to this lawsuit. It is being filed by the Giffords group, with the city of Philadelphia using taxpayer money to fund the lawsuit. The Giffords group is co-counsel in the case and is suing the two companies based on the premise that the kits and parts they sell are firearms, which is not true.
Philadelphia also claims that JSD Supply and Polymer 80 are the suppliers of the majority of ghost guns found in the city. However, it is important to note that criminals will always find a way to obtain firearms, regardless of regulations or lawsuits against gun manufacturers. By targeting the companies instead of the criminals, Philadelphia is diverting attention from the real issue of crime and failing to address the root causes.
Furthermore, Philadelphia alleges that JSD Supply and Polymer 80 are breaking state law by selling unserialized firearms. However, Polymer 80 has already settled two lawsuits for multi-million dollars, indicating that they take legal matters seriously. It is clear that these lawsuits are just an attempt to sue the companies out of business and set a dangerous precedent for the future.
The protection of lawful Commerce and arms act protects gun manufacturers from frivolous lawsuits against their products, as long as they are operating legally. Gun manufacturers can still be sued if their products are faulty or if they are engaged in unlawful activities. Contrary to what Joe Biden claims, gun manufacturers do not have immunity from lawsuits. However, these lawsuits against JSD Supply and Polymer 80 are not based on legitimate claims. They are an attempt to use the legal system to put gun companies out of business.
The lawsuit seeks several outcomes, including shutting down the businesses, establishing an abatement fund to remediate the alleged public nuisance caused by the companies, and awarding compensatory and punitive damages to the city. The Giffords group, as co-counsel, stands to benefit financially from the lawsuit, as they will receive attorney's fees and other damages.
These lawsuits set a dangerous precedent and could lead to more cities following suit and suing gun companies. Democrat-controlled cities, such as New York, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia, may use taxpayer funds to target gun manufacturers in an attempt to blame them for the turmoil and crime in their cities. This not only diverts attention from the real issues but also puts businesses in a tough spot, as settling may seem like the easier option. However, settling prevents a judge from ruling on the protection of lawful Commerce and arms act, leaving the law in flux.
It is important for the Second Amendment community to stand together and support the companies being sued. These lawsuits have far-reaching implications and threaten the rights of law-abiding gun owners. When a legal defense fund is established, it is crucial for the community to contribute and show solidarity against these baseless claims.
In conclusion, the lawsuit filed by the city of Philadelphia, with the support of the Giffords group, against JSD Supply and Polymer 80 is an attempt to sue gun companies out of business. The claims made in the lawsuit are not based on facts, and the companies have already shown their commitment to legal compliance. These lawsuits set a dangerous precedent and could lead to more cities targeting gun manufacturers. It is imperative for the Second Amendment community to stand together and support the companies being sued to protect their rights and the future of the firearms industry.
