Last week a federal judge in Albany threw out a lawsuit brought by gun manufacturers and sellers challenging the constitutionality of a New York law that allows nuisance claims to be brought against the gun industry by individuals and others affected by gun violence. U.S. District Judge Mae D'Agostino ruled that the state law, signed in July by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, fit within an exception to a U.S. law shielding gun manufacturers and dealers from lawsuits.
According to Steur's claim, Glock’s negligence created a public nuisance that endangered public health and safety. It claims Glock's marketing "emphasizes firearm characteristics such as their high capacity and ease of concealment, that appeal to prospective purchasers with criminal intent.” "Gun manufacturers do not live in a bubble,” Mark Shirian, another attorney for Steur, said in a statement. “This lawsuit seeks to hold the gun industry accountable for recklessly marketing their guns in a fashion that unreasonably creates a public nuisance.”
