New York State lawmakers passed a bill Tuesday that allows for civil lawsuits against gun manufacturers, distributors and dealers for how they market and sell firearms.

If signed into law by the governor, New York would be the first state to clear an avenue for civil litigation against gun industry stakeholders in this way. The statute says industry stakeholders can be held liable for the illegal or"unreasonable" sale, manufacture, distribution, importing or marketing of firearms that cause harm to the public as a"public nuisance.

You can make all the laws you want. If a person is going to break those laws it's not going to matter. It is a matter of free choice. Self-interest and profit is what this country lives for.

Pay attention to what DOJ is doing here‼️ U.S. Gov Defending Trump as a Rapist Because it was in line with his Duty as President❓ You Can NOT Be Serious DOJ is obviously Trump Loyalist & White Supremacist How could you have this in Our White House❓ 🛑STOP this ABUSE‼️
