Federalism and Gun Lawsuits

Eugene Volokh makes a persuasive argument for federal preemption of state common law lawsuits brought against gun manufacturers.  For a contrary  view, don't miss Robert Levy's column, "Gun Lawsuits Are No Business of Congress."  You can also turn off the TV and turn on RealAudio: watch "Federalism Under The Gun: Banning City Lawsuits, Federalizing Gun Crime."

This topic would make for an excellent "Debate Club."
