New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) said Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that she was looking into following Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) recent proposal to allow private citizens to sue manufacturers and distributors of assault weapons.
Co-host Sarah Haines said, “Last the Supreme Court refused to block a Texas law that allows everyday citizens to sue abortion providers. Then California Governor Newsom wants to take that law and flip it and allow citizens in his state to sue assault weapon and ghost gun providers. Would you do something like this? is it an effective legal strategy?”
AD James said, “The answer is yes. When I heard about that, I said to my team we need to follow his lead. The reason why that is is because gun manufacturers and gun distributors in this country are immunized. No liability whatsoever. They’re the only industry that is protected in this country, and given the carnage and given the fact that this is the ninth anniversary of Sandy Hook, I am sick and tired of prayers and individuals whose hearts go out to all of those who have lost lives. We can do something about it. What we need to do is hold these gun manufacturers and these gun distributors liable.”
She added, “We are reviewing it and talking to California, and so this is a first. Yes, The Office of Attorney General Letitia James is looking at that model, and I congratulate Governor Newsom.”

Already been to USSC & shot down.
Cannot sue gun manufacturers.
Same people want to sue SUV maker for parade deaths in Waukesha?????
What about makers of un-approved vaccines? Can they be added too? How about fear ‘mongrel’ pseudo scientists masquerading as head of a government agency?

How about suing the fork makers on behalf of fat people????
How about suing politicians and their supporters for leaving crime victims defenseless with their burdening “guns murder people” laws?
Bump!
Sounds like a plan.
Sue the people who use them; are car manufacturers sued over cars used to kill people, run them down for fun?
In response, firearm/ammunition manufacturers should stop selling to law enforcement agencies in those respective states.
I’m noticing a trend, Chicago mayor, D.C. mayor, NYS AG...hmmm, what’s the common thread other than Soros funding.
Remember the church shooting from 2017 in Sutherland Springs?
Victims tried to sue Academy.
Texas Supreme Court tossed their suit.
They know fully, about how bad they are and the consequences. But it fits their agenda.
Congress must act to stop this ever happening again.
And of course:
It's TIME to DownSize DC!
Restore the Constitution!Size DC!
Bump
Let’s take this to its logical conclusion. Let’s say a guy is injured by a drunk driver. The drunk was drinking Bud beer, and was driving a Ford. Why not let the injured guy sue Budweiser and Ford Motors?
so.....if someone beats this Nazi bloody with a stapler, the stapler manufacturer is liable?
I don't care where she got her law degree. Leticia James is monumentally stupid.
Chicago mayor Lighfoot and D.C. mayor Bowser are lesbians married to another woman.
Was the stapler loaded or not? If so, include the staple manufacturer in that list!
