More than a dozen gun industry stakeholders sued the New York State Attorney General, challenging the constitutionality of a state law that allows gun manufacturers and distributors to be sued if their products are used in crimes by third parties
More than a dozen gun industry stakeholders sued the New York State Attorney General, challenging the constitutionality of a state public nuisance law that allows gun manufacturers and distributors to be sued if their products are used in crimes by third parties.
The legislation, which was signed into law in July, made New York the first state to clear the way for gun manufacturers, distributors and dealers to face civil lawsuits for how they market and sell firearms. The law was a work-around for the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, a federal law that granted immunity to firearms manufacturers and dealers when crimes were committed with their products. The lawsuit names New York Attorney General Letitia James as a defendant.
