The Sandy Hook Shooting: Holding Gun Manufacturers Accountable w/ Josh Koskoff
Listen now
Description
In 2005 Congress enacted the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) which gave immunity to gun manufacturers at a time when gun violence in America was skyrocketing. Following the tragic shootings in Sandy Hook the families of victims sought to hold Remington, the maker of the AR-15, accountable for its role in the murders of the 20 first graders and 5 teachers. Attorney Josh Koskoff, of the legendary Koskoff firm started by his grandfather, and his team were able to navigate the immunity issues associated with PLCAA in a case that went to the U.S. Supreme Court and back, survived two bankruptcies, and ultimately resulted in a $73 million settlement. In this podcast Mike and Tad talk with Josh about the novel legal theory and the path toward justice.
