Description
I recently received a third-party subpoena connected to the Highland Park civil lawsuit involving Smith & Wesson.
In this video, I break down what the subpoena actually asks for, why an independent YouTube creator like me is being pulled into discovery, and how broad some of these requests really are. We’ll look at the request for years of records, communications, audience data, products received, public content, and the surprisingly broad definition of Smith & Wesson’s M&P product line used in the documents.
I also explain what this subpoena doesn’t mean. I’m not a defendant in this case, and receiving a subpoena is not a finding that I—or anyone else—did anything wrong. It is part of the discovery process in an ongoing civil case.
We’ll also briefly look at the Remington/Sandy Hook litigation, PLCAA, and why that case remains important when understanding how firearm-industry lawsuits are being handled today.
Most importantly, I want to show exactly what these documents say without exaggerating what they don’t say.
This video reflects my personal experience and opinions regarding the subpoena I received and is not legal advice. Allegations discussed in the underlying lawsuit remain contested unless otherwise stated.
