PN> The pro-gun community won a major judicial victory when the US 
PN> District
PN> Court for the Northern District of California issued a summary 
PN> judgment for
PN> Auto-Ordinance to dismiss a lawsuit brought by victims of a shooting 
PN> incident.
PN> In his written conclusion, Judge Fern M. Smith declared, "Plaintiffs 
PN> ask
PN> this court to provide through judicial fiat what the California and 
PN> United
PN> States legislatures have each refused to provide by law. This 
PN> invitation to
PN> create new California law must be declined.
    The Court saw that any acceptance of the plaintiff's argument would 
inevitably expand to suits by "victims" of other products, like those hit by 
drunk drivers suing the beer industry and the auto industry!
