Indiana Judge denies retroactive law change, allowing Gary's gun manufacturers lawsuit to continue.

Indiana Judge John M. Sedia has rejected the retroactive nature of a new state law intended to end a lawsuit filed by the city of Gary against various gun manufacturers and dealers. The lawsuit, ongoing since 1996, alleges that the gun companies engaged in unlawful sales and marketing practices that led to increased crime in Gary during the late 1990s, causing the city significant costs for criminal investigations and prosecutions. The judge's decision means the lawsuit will continue, potentially setting a precedent for similar legal actions.
