This won’t fix your crime Buffalo. You’re better off trying to fix the crime.

It's not the guns it's the parents who are raising these murderers.

So when are they gonna have lawsuits against companies that make alcohol because people drive drunk and kill people while driving drunk and how about the car manufacturers for allowing drunk drivers to drive their cars those should be sued too🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

And many wonder why the city of Buffalo is such a shut whole!🤪

Yeah cuz the violence and murders in New York are the gun manufacturers fault NOT

Criminals smuggle heroin and sex slaves. You really think they're going to struggle to put guns in the hands anyone that wants one? Look at the gun violence in Mexico. Guns are basically banned in Mexico. Mass shooters boast of choosing gun free zones as their targets. Learn.

Wonder if this guy's available.

The city just wants money.

It’s worth a shot !

100% of mass shooters were wearing shoes. Shoe manufacturers need to be held to account.

Gun manufacturers should be held accountable for the lives lost due to the mass marketing they do towards younger generations

_AsWeSpeak So proud to live in Buffalo NY. First Starbucks in the nation to be unionized, awesome football team, and now this. Which absolutely needed to be done

So DUI victims can sue Ford? GMC? Should victims of a surgeons malpractice be able to sue the scalpel maker?

🙄

Why is it that we can’t hold individuals responsible for their own act? Do we sue the car maker for what a drunk driver does?

So we should be able to sue the manufacturer of a car that is driven by a drunk driver that kills a family member. How about teaching good morals and family values. You can not legislate a good heart. Start by keeping a family together and Christian values.

I'm sure the Supreme Court will ultimately block it because why would they be anti-murder

NoOneUnscripted Good

Interesting.

Laughably juvenile

Cities and states are going to bring sanity to gun control issues.

Bravo Buffalo! We always knew we liked you!

Fantastic start

Accountability.Much success.

Buffalo, New York sues gun makers, accusing industry of fueling violenceThe upstate New York city of Buffalo on Tuesday filed a lawsuit in state court accusing major gun manufacturers of fueling violence through irresponsible marketing and sales practices. When are we going to sue the politicians who let the killers out of jail and who promote fascism in state schools? We sue Cadillac for car deaths, Budweiser for DUI deaths and Democrats for the 100,000 fentanyl deaths in the last year. And, how about NY crime rate and the catch and release policy also? Does any of this contribute to gun violence? Or is it just gun manufacturers only?
