DESCRIPTION:Attorney General Todd Rokita and Team Secure Major Victory for 
 Second Amendment Rights as Court of Appeals Dismisses City of Gary’s Dec
 ades-Old Lawsuit Against Firearm Industry\n\nVictory reinforces state auth

 General Todd Rokita today issued the following statement on the Indiana Co
 urt of Appeals’ unanimous ruling dismissing the City of Gary’s 26-year
 -old lawsuit against law-abiding firearm manufacturers and sellers:\n\n“
 The Indiana Court of Appeals has unanimously ruled in our favor\, dismissi
 ng the City of Gary's 26-year-old lawsuit against law-abiding firearm manu
 facturers and sellers.\n\nThis decision upholds the General Assembly's leg
 islation that states only the State of Indiana\, not individual cities\, m
 ay pursue such actions against the firearms industry.\n\nThis result helps
  to ensure that firearms remain available to law-abiding citizens\, preven
 ting a single city or handful of cities from using lawsuits to force chang
 es to the way they are sold.\n\nOur office will continue defending your co
 nstitutional rights and keeping firearms accessible to responsible\, law-a
 biding citizens.”\n\nSolicitor General James Barta\, who argued the appe
 al on behalf of the State\, added: “This unanimous ruling confirms the l
 egislature’s clear intent and authority to preempt local governments fro
 m bringing these types of lawsuits\, ensuring uniform statewide policy and
  protecting the rights of law-abiding Hoosiers from piecemeal litigation t
 hat could restrict access to firearms.”\n\nA headshot of Attorney Genera
