Gun Rights v Federalism
This case presents two topics I definitely believe in squarely against one another.

https://reason.com/2022/08/19/a-case-tha...ederalism/

Relevant background: 2005 Shrub "signed into law the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), a statute designed to protect gun makers, dealers, distributors, and importers from being sued "for the harm caused by the misuse of firearms by third parties, including criminals.""

Pennsylvania state case, where a kid accidentally killed his friend, thinking the semi-auto was unloaded because the magazine had been removed. There was 'one in the chamber'.

Dead child's family sues, and the Penn appellate court had to face the PLCAA, and found it unconstitutional -- citing that tort law is the province of the states themselves.

Edited to add specifically -- the family sued the gun manufacturer.

This still has to go to the Penn Supreme Court, and almost certainly land in Federal court. The wild thing is how this will shift positions of 'political' views.

Anti-gun activists will now be clamoring for stronger 10th Amendment considerations more typically voiced by conservatives and libertarians. All the while gun rights supporters will be supporting less 10th Amendment interaction more typically voiced by progressives.
