Defective or not, the government can't recall your gun

Because of the Second Amendment guarantee of the right to bear arms, removing a defective firearm from the market is deliberately difficult.

The Remington class-action settlement — in which the company maintains the guns are safe — comes 44 years after the first lawsuit over the popular Model 700 rifle was filed in Pennsylvania in 1971. The following year, when Congress passed the law establishing the Consumer Product Safety Commission "to protect the public against unreasonable risks of injury associated with consumer products," it barred the new agency from regulating firearms.
