A 27-year-old lawsuit by the City of Gary against law-abiding firearm manufacturers and sellers is officially dead — no longer posing a threat to Hoosiers’ Second Amendment rights.
On Thursday, the Indiana Supreme Court denied Gary’s efforts to revive its lawsuit, cementing a victory by Attorney General Todd Rokita and his team after the Indiana Court of Appeals dismissed the case in December.
“Over a quarter of a century after this lawsuit began, I am proud to be the Attorney General who has finally ended the City of Gary’s relentless campaign to harass the firearms industry,” Attorney General Rokita said. “This huge victory prevents a single city or small group of cities from using baseless lawsuits to dictate how guns are sold across our entire state, ensuring that responsible, law-abiding citizens can continue to exercise their Second Amendment rights.”
Attorney General Rokita expressed gratitude to Solicitor General James Barta, who argued the case last year before the Indiana Court of Appeals.
