"U.S. District Judge Jack Weinstein said a new law shielding gun companies from lawsuits by cities and crime victims did not apply to New York's case against several major gun manufacturers.

"It [the new law] included a narrow exception for some lawsuits alleging specific violations of state law."

"Weinstein also ruled, however, that if the law did apply to New York's case, it would be constitutional."

This article was very vague. What are the exceptions? What are these specific violations? What is the circumstance that the Judge see it as applicable? Not allot of info in the article. In an case, if the product (gun) performed HOW it was built to perform, then their should be no case. An individual misusing the product (gun) should be be grounds for a suit. But, this article was so vague, I dont know if that is the case.
