Lawyer argues Call of Duty maker can’t be held responsible for actions of Texas school shooter

Families of victims sued Activision and Meta, saying the companies bear responsibility for products used by gunman

A lawyer for the maker of the video game Call of Duty argued Friday that a judge should dismiss a lawsuit brought by families of the victims of the Robb elementary school attack in Uvalde, Texas, saying the contents of the war game are protected by the first amendment.

The families sued Call of Duty maker Activision and Meta Platforms, which owns Instagram, saying that the companies bear responsibility for products used by the teenage gunman.
