NAACP Rests Case Against Firearms Industry
Having utterly failed to prove the baseless allegation that the
firearm industry knowingly and willingly sells guns to criminals, the
NAACP has rested its case after four weeks of testimony. “The NAACP
has not proven its baseless and highly offensive allegation against a
law abiding industry. The case was, as Shakespeare wrote in Macbeth,
‘full of sound and fury, signifying nothing’,” said Lawrence G.
Keane, vice president and general counsel of the National Shooting
Sports Foundation (NSSF). The NSSF is the firearm industry’s trade
association. Despite the stunningly poor case the NAACP offered,
Keane remained pessimistic about the trial’s outcome. “We are not
under any delusions. Due to Ms. Barnes and the NAACP’s blatant judge
shopping, the verdict is almost certainly preordained. The NAACP is
offering the same evidence from the same expert witnesses in front of
the same judge as the 1999 Hamilton trial. The NAACP case is Judge
Weinstein’s mulligan,” Keane said. Weinstein’s Hamilton decision was
reversed on appeal. “Judge Weinstein, not the “advisory” jury will
decide this case,” Keane added. NAACP general counsel Dennis Hayes
opened the case by comparing the defendants to segregationists and
baby killers. His comments were so outrageous that Judge Weinstein
admonished Mr. Hayes and had to remind the “advisory” jury that the
case was not about segregation or discrimination. Hayes openly
admitted the NAACP was pursuing its lawsuit because legislators had
not enacted its anti-gun agenda. The NAACP’s witnesses included NAACP
employee Mildred Roxborough, NAACP president Kweisi Mfume, and the
self-described “bombshell witness,” Robert Ricker. Additionally, in
an attempt to substitute “junk” science for actual evidence, the
NAACP called several “experts” whose opinions have already been
rejected by New York courts. …
