Court Rejects NYC Suit Against Gun Makers

(newser) – A federal appeals court today tossed out a lawsuit brought by New York City against gun manufacturers for allowing their weapons to get into criminal hands, the New York Times reports. The city said gun makers create a public nuisance by not keeping a closer eye on retailers—thus supplying underground markets. The court rejected the argument, likely ending more than seven years of litigation on the issue.
