A woman who was shot in a Brooklyn subway shooting that left 10 people wounded filed a lawsuit Tuesday against gun-maker Glock Inc. and its parent company, accusing them of fueling "a public nuisance" in New York and endangering public health and safety.
Ilene Steur, the woman behind the federal lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of New York, was on her way to work when she was shot in the April 12 attack in which a gunman fired dozens of bullets aboard a busy subway train.
In the lawsuit, Steur, 49, and her lawyers accuse Glock of marketing its products in ways that emphasize "firearm characteristics such as their high capacity and ease of concealment, that appeal to prospective purchasers with criminal intent.”
The lawsuit further accuses Glock of "purposely supplying more firearms than the legitimate market could bear in order to induce sales in the secondary market," as well as of failing to train dealers to avoid illegal transactions, and refusing to shut down contracts with distributors who have sold to dealers "with disproportionately high volumes of guns traced to crime scenes."
As a result, it says, Glock has “endangered the public health and safety” of New York residents by marketing, distributing, promoting and selling firearms "with reckless disregard for human life and for the peace, tranquility and economic well-being of the public."

Should go after the bullet manufacturer; the gun was just a means to expel it.
> Any real judge would immediately throw out this suit.
Not in New Yawk.
I have to say that firearms dealers and manufacturers are Americans with more courage and balls than most, I THANK THEM everyday for firmly standing with our constitution it is a tough business!!
And don’t forget to buy those extra high capacity magazines before they’re outlawed; to protect the children.
Sue the company that made the subway car you were riding in while you are at it.
We should file public nuisance suits against eco freaks.

Use as needed to shed light on these haters.
Has she filed a lawsuit against hollywood? Or rappers?
Hope Glock asks for different venue. Too many liberals on the jury.
Swimming pools are a “public nuisance” because people drown in them. Toothbrushes cause a number of deaths every year. Ladders cause deaths, on and on and on it goes. I guess society is gonna sue every business out of business?
Hardware store “Sorry folks, no more ladders for sale. Someone decided to sue ladder manufacturers out of business because theur spouse didnt secure the ladder first before climbing, so we have none to sell you anymore”
Hey, loser lady, how about suing the city that allowed a gun on the subway, provided no coppers, and kept anyone else from being armed?
Oh, your sleazy lawyer told you that might require him to work? Got it.
And yes, you are a loser if you just go after the money.
It is the Godless Democrats who have “fueled a public nuisance”. (Godless Democrats)
That’s what should happen, but it probably won’t.🙄
“...her lawyers accuse Chevrolet of marketing its products in ways that emphasize “automobile characteristics such as their high-speed escape capacity and ease of steering, that appeal to prospective purchasers with criminal intent.”
Oh, not the scum that shot her???? Not the once-great city of New York?.......amazing.....(rolling eyes)
The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act is supposed to prevent this type of lawfare. Of course, laws don’t mean anything anymore unless they favor commies.
