NY Attorney General Copies California With Anti-Gun Bill

'And what we need to do is hold these manufacturers and these gun distributors liable... '

New York Attorney General Letitia James said this week that she will follow California’s example in passing anti-gun legislation that allows individuals to sue gun manufacturers.

During an interview with The View, James congratulated California Gov. Gavin Newsom for pushing a gun control measure that was written to reflect Texas’s anti-abortion bill.

“We [in New York] need to follow his lead,” James said. “And the reason why that is is gun manufacturers and gun distributors in this country are immunized — no liability whatsoever. They are the only industry that is protected in this country.”

Jame said she is “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,” she claimed. “And what we need to do is hold these manufacturers and these gun distributors liable.”

Newsom announced last week that he is working with the California legislature and attorney general to “create a right of action” that would allow citizens to seek injunctive relief and damages of $10,000 per violation against “anyone who manufactures, distributes, or sells an assault weapon or ghost gun kit.”

“If [Texas] can ban abortion and endanger lives, [California] can ban deadly weapons of war and save lives,” Newsom tweeted.
