SAVED BY THE COURT

By Bob Walsh

 

 

Back in 2019 there was a mass shooting at the Garlic Festival in Gilroy, CA.  Three people died.  It results in a lawsuit being filed against the guns manufacturer, Century Arms, by the family of one of the victims, because their gun was used in the shooting.  

Last year the Vermont Federal District Judge, William Sessions, ruled that the case could proceed.  Last week he reversed himself in light of recent Supreme Court rulings, and tossed the case.  It is unknow if the plaintiffs will proceed with an appeal.

The Garlic Festival has restarted again, though not as big as it used to be.  Takes time for the shock to wear off I guess.  

The case was filed in Vermont because Century has a manufacturing facility there.
