Governor Cuomo Signs Gun Manufacturer Liability Law!!! Firearms Declared A Public Nuisance!
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation (S7196 and A6762-B) allowing individuals and organizations to sue gun manufacturers for damages caused by firearms, even if the manufacturer is not directly responsible for criminal acts. This law declares firearms a public nuisance and aims to circumvent the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which generally shields manufacturers from such lawsuits. The legislation is expected to face significant legal challenges due to its conflict with federal law and its broad, undefined terms like 'reasonable controls'.
