Federal appeals court upholds NY law holding gunmakers liable for shootings

Now do auto manufacturers and pharmaceutical manufacturers… :enraged_face:

“A federal appeals court has upheld a New York state law holding gun manufacturers potentially liable when their weapons are used in deadly shootings after rejecting a challenge from gun rights groups.”

Eric Tirschwell, executive director of the gun control group Everytown Law, also praised the ruling and said the law “has created a new pathway for victims and their families to hold bad actors in the gun industry accountable for their role in fueling the epidemic of gun violence that is ravaging communities across the Empire State.”

what role did the plaintiffs prove gunmakers played

Come on, you’ve been around here long enough..


This Glock, jumped off the table, went out and shot 4 people, then returned to the table, all while the owner of it was sleeping.

The only possibility is the gun maker designed that feature in…

How’s that for Liberal Logic???

Seems like we are getting some circuit splits here so maybe SCOTUS will take this one and kill this BS once and for all.

3 judge panel. Biden appointee, Obama appointee, and a George H.W. Bush appointee… Deck was stacked. Bush appointee went with the ruling but stated the law was an “end run” around federal law…

Again NY is leading the liberal way.

So I can sue a carmaker for negligent driver causing an accident… good to know.

Why is common sense so hard for some people…

And if the driver has any drugs in his system, the pharma company too!

Trifecta!!!

My above post was somewhat in jest, but in reality, it’s not.

The blind hatred these liberals have for firearms, passing stupid laws like that…they seem to be blind to the fact that the ‘law of unintended consequences’ always applies.

This opens the door for a bunch of shit they hadn’t thought of.

Just remember, they’ve NEVER been known to have common sense or logic… it’s just too much work for them.

It’s not the firearms they hate, it is the right leaning law abiding citizens that own them. It seems they are only concerned with disarming law abiding Americans, because they ain’t doing jack shit about the criminals with guns.

I mean, ya’d think dealing with the people who own guns illegally, eg prohibited persons, would come before the people who got theirs legally and aren’t breaking any laws.

I wonder does this also mean politicians can be held liable for their decisions
