CONNECTICUT — Gov. Ned Lamont signed a new gun control bill into law that places the marketers of firearms clearly in the crosshairs.
"This law is just one more step as we try and make sure that it's not just Connecticut law enforcement doing all the enforcing; we hold the manufacturers and sales people accountable as well," Lamont told reporters on shortly after the bill's signing Thursday.
And it's the manufacturers and resellers who are the target. Effective Oct. 1, both groups will be vulnerable to lawsuits if they fail to implement "reasonable controls."

“Lamont, you big dummy!”
Fred Sanford was right about Lamont.
Unconstitutional on its face.
Yep, a waste of time and money.
Federal law already outlaws this type of suit.
Violates a SCOTUS decision ???
Any idea what “reasonable controls” are? My nephew was a law clerk for one of these bozos. Wafter sandy hook, the legislature actually had to have the state police come in and explain/teach guns and rifles to them before they implemented any laws. He said they were ALL clueless. I’m glad I left a long time ago.
Sure, that's why gang-bangers in Konnecticut routinely get off with light sentences for gun violations.
Two more years, I'm retiring and taking my money out of this Marxist state.
Didn’t they used to have some firearms manufacturers in Connecticut?
You’re gonna have that, in the F you State.
Next, see Colorado.
Yes, many.
“CONSTITUTION STATE”.........lmao!!!!!
Again? This didn't work the first time. Don't these people ever update their playbook?
> Unconstitutional on its face. <
For sure. It’s no different than suing a whiskey distillery if some drunk gets in a car accident.
But that’s one thing about liberals. Logic (and long-term affects) don’t matter in the least. It’s all about what feels good at the moment.

Can it be used to sue soft on crime, and sanctuary supporting politicians?
The primary legislation protecting gun manufacturers from liability is the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), enacted in 2005. This federal law shields gun makers and sellers from being sued for crimes committed with their products, provided they have complied with all applicable laws.
It would help if you knew more about guns. Here is a tutorial from experts.

There are still some in NH. I regularly see signs advertising that Ruger is hiring.
