...against as long as the sale from the manufacturer to the distributor was lawful, the sale from the distributor to the dealer was lawful, or the sale from the dealer to the customer was lawful.

Gun manufacturers, distributors, and dealers can be sued under PLCAA, but not for following the law. Gun sales follow rules MOST OTHER CONSUMER PRODUCTS DO NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW.

In a previous article, they were hanging their hat on a pistol coated in a golden color and said it was marketed to gangsters.

lol. Good luck with that.
