Suit against NY law making FFLs liable dismissed

Posted by David Hardy · 25 May 2022 02:17 PM

Ruling here. It's a long one, I haven't had time to read and outline it yet. But some courts can be inventive in getting around a law they don't like, and a skim sounds like that's the case here.

The courts know who butters their bread. They know better than to defy their "Massah". You should not be surprised.

From the opinion:

"2. All gun industry members who manufacture, market, import or offer for wholesale or retail sale any qualified product in New York state shall establish and utilize reasonable controls and procedures to prevent its qualified products from being possessed, used,
marketed or sold unlawfully in New York state."

Does this mean New York is delegating law enforcement authority to the gun industry?

Presumably it will be up to a jury of the illiterate to decide in each case whether controls and procedures were reasonable after some some thug buys a stolen gun in an alley from another thug. Ain't the rule of law great.

Wrangler5 nailed it. NY is punishing gun makers for selling guns to people NY legally allows to buy them.

If these people are bad actors, why doesn't NY law ban them from buying guns? Why are they blaming gun makers for following NY law? Gunmakers are not selling guns to random people in an alley, they sell to holders of FFLs.

That is amazingly stupid.

Which never stopped a politician, I imagine.
