[edit] Gun rights
The Gun industry lawsuit was *NOT* about holding manufacturers responsible if their products were used in a crime. It was about much, much more than that. The Mayor argued that gun companies were breaking the law simply because they manufactured a lot of firearms. Thus, these excess firearms ended up breaking NYC's tight gun control laws. The press release says: The suit alleges a number of illegal practices conducted by the gun industry, including:
- Deliberately manufacturing many more firearms than can be bought for legitimate purposes such as hunting and law enforcement, and knowingly targeting these excess guns to criminals, youths and other persons unqualified to buy firearms;
- Deliberately undermining New York City's gun control laws by flooding markets with looser gun laws with firearms that the manufacturers know are destined to be illegally resold in New York City;
- Ignoring the illegal practices of gun distributors, many of whom openly engage in the above practices;
- Refusing to manufacture safer guns, with such features as trigger locks and "personalization" measures that allow only authorized persons to fire the weapon.
