NEW YORK, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- In New York City, gun makers and dealers are now liable for injuries or deaths caused by criminals who use their weapons, the New York Post said Wednesday.

The landmark, first in the nation law -- one of four regulating gun sales and possession -- goes further than any other city's effort to hold the gun industry financially responsible for crimes involving their weapons.

"We need to do everything we can to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and out of the hands of children," said New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. "There's just no argument here. Guns kill people, it's time to get them off the street."

Under the new law, gun makers and dealers are held liable only when they do not comply with a strict code of conduct regulating sales and transfers of their weapons to keep them out of the hands of criminals.

Among the rules that could hold a dealer or manufacturer liable are multiple gun sales to one person or sales at a gun show without performing a criminal-background check. City lawmakers took more than two years to hammer out the legislation.
 
And at this point its time for gun makers to stop selling to New York. Didn't Barrett do the same type of thing with California??
 
Um . . .

"precedent" generally refers to case law, not some idiotic thing cobbled together by a bunch of yahoo legislators.

Not the end of the world, folks, just the type of basura we usually see from the clusters of idiots on either coast.
 
Good News!

When this case has been through the appellate process and upheld, it will conflict with other decisions in other parts (meaning, other Circuits) of the Federal Court System. When that happens, it will go to the Supreme Court.

This decision and legal theory doesn't stand a chance in heck of surviving the Supreme Court. There is just too much legal precedence, especially in motor vehicles suits and other products.


Then, all these nuisance suits will be gone. It will take a while, but they will be gone.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- In New York City, car makers and dealers are now liable for injuries or deaths caused by drunks and street racer who use their vehicles, the New York Post said Wednesday.

The landmark, first in the nation law -- one of four regulating vehicle sales and possession -- goes further than any other city's effort to hold the automobile industry financially responsible for misuse of their products.

"We need to do everything we can to keep 4-wheel killing machines out of the hands of drunks and out of the hands of those who would race them," said New York Mayor Iman Idiot. "There's just no argument here. Cars kill people, it's time to get them off the street."

Under the new law, vehicle makers and dealers are held liable only when they do not comply with a strict code of conduct regulating sales and transfers of their cars to keep them out of the hands of drunks, and those would would appear to race them.

Among the rules that could hold a dealer or manufacturer liable are sales of any car capable of exceeding 75 MPH to one person or sales at a car show without performing a sobriety check, and ensuring that the person will never drive drunk. City lawmakers took more than two years to hammer out the legislation.

How does that sound? Same concept.

I still want to know how NYC can penalize a company that is not in NYC.

And I guess next time a GLock is used in a crime, they will go after a company that provides them with weapons?

*Exactly.

So apparently they can't keep a lid on the gun crimes, eh?

They're trying to bankrupt the gun manufactorers.
