Uvalde Shooting Sparks Debate Over Gun Industry Liability

The families of victims of the Uvalde school shooting are suing gun maker Daniel Defense, alleging that the company violated federal trade law by marketing its products to civilians as tools for offensive, military-style operations. The lawsuits could be the biggest test yet of the extent of the firearms industry's liability protections. While federal law protects the firearms industry from lawsuits if their products are misused, some legal experts believe exceptions allow gunmakers to be held partially responsible for mass shootings if they deceptively marketed their products in violation of the law.
