The 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.

, Beretta USA Corp, Bushmaster Firearms Industries Inc, Colt's Manufacturing Co LLC and Glock Inc. The city is seeking an unspecified money award to combat gun violence.

The case appeared to be the first time a city has sued major gun companies under a 2021 New York law that allows lawsuits against gun makers and sellers for creating a "public nuisance" through their business practices.

Gun makers don’t fuel violence, Hollywood and the music industry do by shaping the culture

How about civilizing people!! We had guns all around our house. Nobody killed each other.

So they’re not suing Hollywood, vodeo games manufacturers?

Make more sense to sue Hollywood. Nothing else contributes more to the shoot ‘em up gun culture. Imagine no mention of guns in movies at all, let alone brandishing them in many and the trail of carnage typical of top ‘hits’.

People’s feelings are now overriding civil rights ? Bring God back into America and see violence drop

Why not enforce the law instead of letting criminals go?

They should also sue car manufacturers for the same thing...going by their 'logic'.

Gun manufacturers are the only industry explicitly protected by federal statute from liability lawsuits. Carmakers and cigarette companies can be taken to court if their products or marketing endanger the public.

Outstanding 👏

Why not to go straight to the problem, Sue bullets makers...

Shouldn't they be suing the music industry and Hollywood for promoting immorality and violence?

They should sue half the hiphop industry.

Buffalo New York sucks...👎👎👎👎👎👎🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

They're not fueling violence. The government is. By pitting Americans against one another.

Firearms are a legal product in the United States. Suing companies because individuals misuse those products illegally is ludicrous.

The Democrats have been ruining Buffalo and New York State for years. It's the Midas touch in reverse.

New York Sucks.

PR move

Sue Cadillac, Big Phrma and McDonald's also

Let's sue the Democrats for fueling the destruction of America.

Of course they are

Maybe the state of NY should worry about holding their criminals accountable first before blaming the manufacturer of inanimate objects for the violence that they themselves fuel, reward, and empower.

Those firearms manufacturers should refuse to sell firearms to the state of NY....

I got in a car accident. Can I sue the auto manufacturer?

Democrat city deflects and blames someone else’s for their own problems…….surprise surprise. victimhoodvirus

It’ll be great when NY looses because… Constitution

Why not sue Bed Bath and Beyond for selling kitchen knives and rolling pins? My grandma used to threaten gramps with a rolling pin every time he had one two many pints..

Guns never kill people, it's people killing people.

Wasn't this on an episode of Law and Order 🤔

Can a fat person sue Hostess?

bruen. forbidden ,sez nra

Lol

NY politicians should be locked up.

The corruption in Buffalo is palpable.

🙄🙄🙄

Nothing kills more people than

Don't blame those poor gun makers, they just fulfilling consumer demands aren't they. They would be more than happy to produce more, if only the government would allow kids to carry guns in their lunch boxes!

Communism at it's finest

No more flirting I guess

New York really ought to think about sueing our Federal government if they really want to stop violence. Just go ask the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and now Ukraine. The fruits have been death & Destruction for those peoples and counties. Over 1 million dead

Gus does not kill.... Sick people in the head.... with guns do!

Looking forward to getting my conceal carry permit.

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?

We sue Cadillac for car deaths, Budweiser for DUI deaths and Democrats for the 100,000 fentanyl deaths in the last year.

When are we going to sue the politicians who let the killers out of jail and who promote fascism in state schools?
