The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a challenge to a New York law that sets out a legal pathway to hold gunmakers accountable for harm caused by their weapons.
The court’s decision not to intervene means the 2021 law remains in effect. It allows for various legal claims against gun manufacturers under state law, including alleged conduct that endangers the public health of New Yorkers.
The law, which was immediately challenged in court after being enacted, was written specifically to circumvent a 2005 federal law called the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act that created a liability shield for gunmakers.
Perfection is the enemy of good, and this is a great example.
Your point makes perfect sense, but depends I after the fact logic. The folks that want regulation on guns tend toward preventative measures and as a result seem to neglect alternative answers, meaning if the law doesn’t prevent gun violence to begin with its not getting passed.
Ah well, you convinced me. Let’s ban all privately owned firearms instead. Thanks for your support
Ain’t trying to convince shit. I’m complaining about the shitty american political process.
Im allowed to complain and not have an answer. You got the means to make your idea work? No? Well then welcome to the boat, asshole.
