Abstract
- Families of the victims of the Uvalde school shooting in Texas have filed lawsuits against companies including the maker of "Call of Duty" videogames, Instagram, and an AR-15 rifle manufacturer. The lawsuits allege that these companies colluded to market military-style semiautomatic guns to minors. The suits claim that the rifle company, Daniel Defense, marketed its products to young people through "Call of Duty" and its own Instagram page. Gun makers are typically shielded from civil suits, but these lawsuits focus on the marketing and advertising of guns to children, which is not protected under federal law.
