Brad Karp and Chris Boehning Author Op-Ed on Gun Control for The New York Times
March 24, 2018
In an op-ed for The New York Times titled “Stop Shielding Gun Makers,” firm chairman Brad Karp and litigation partner Chris Boehning discuss the statutory immunity of gun manufacturers and the problems this poses in reducing gun violence. “Democrats in Congress have introduced a bill to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. Congress should pass that bill. The gun industry doesn’t deserve a special legal perk that immunizes it from liability. And the victims of gun violence deserve their day in court,” say the authors. Litigation associate David Pucino assisted in the preparation of this article.
