A federal appeals court has rejected a challenge to a New York gun nuisance law that imposes liability for injuries stemming from misconduct in the sale or marketing of firearms.
In a July 10 opinion, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals at New York affirmed dismissal of the lawsuit filed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation and 14 of its members.
The 2021 state law is not preempted by federal law, it does not violate principles of interstate commerce, and it is not void for vagueness, the 2nd Circuit said in an opinion by Judge Eunice C. Lee, an appointee of former President Joe Biden.
Of course Eunice said that. Shutting down firearms manufacturers has always been the holy grail of gun control.
The solution, of course, is to refuse to sell firearms to anyone in the state of New York, including and most importantly, law enforcement.
That is, if firearms manufacturers had scruples and cared more about the second amendment than they do about making money.

No it won’t. That’s completely deluded. Do you know what happened in New York after the state lost the Bruen case? They started issuing permits, and then they made it a felony to carry WITH a permit in 99% of the state. You need the approval of the State Police to buy ammo in New York and California. Violate their stupid laws and you lose your gun “rights” for life.
How do ya like THEM apples?
You have no “constitutional rights.” The courts are political institutions whose job is to invent sophistry to trick you into thinking you have “rights” while you are in fact getting screwed. The courts only grant you gun limited privileges to keep you quiescent.
