Cambridge University Press Outgunned No More : The Era Of Firearms Industry Accountability

Outgunned No More comprehensively addresses the changed legal landscape under which governments and private citizens can sue the gun industry for contributing to and sustaining the gun violence epidemic in the US and Mexico.The book canvasses federal and state efforts to regulate firearms through gun control measures, arguing that these regulatory measures have proven ineffective to stem gun violence.Instead, recourse to robust consumer protection and mass tort litigation provides the best avenue for holding the firearms industry accountable.Chapters highlight three important interventions: the 1998 Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement, the Connecticut Sandy Hook Elementary School litigation, and the recent enactment of consumer protection and public nuisance firearms statutes in nine states.These innovative statutes have created an avenue for litigation that overcomes the firearm industry's historical immunity.Outgunned No More concludes that a firearms mass tort litigation, modeled after the resolution of claims in the tobacco industry, is the best path forward.
