Timothy Wheeler writes in National Review Online, Litigation Without Justification Is Tyranny, commenting on the recent NAACP lawsuit (and others) vs. the gun industry.
He highlights something many readers already know, all I can add to it is we need some process to rein in these frivolous lawsuits because they do hurt innocent people. Some penalty for filing frivolous claims, such as "loser-pays", which could be waived by a judge or jury if they thought a losing case still merited a public hearing for instance. I'm sure there are weaknesses in that argument too, but in the meantime, legislation protecting the gun industry from these lawsuits certainly seems warranted to me.
