Gun foes hopeful as Gary,Indiana suit allowed to proceed

Fox News reports:
The Indiana Supreme Court won't review an appellate court ruling allowing the city of Gary to take its lawsuit against gun manufacturers to trial.

Gary has 1 of the nation's highest homicide rates and claims in its lawuit that manufacturers and dealers have sold guns they knew would end up in the hands of criminals. Similar lawsuits filed by Boston and Cincinnati have been dropped.

In 2007, the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled that Gary's case could proceed despite a federal law shielding manufacturers from liability.
This is the logic of blaming farmers for fat people.
