Supreme Court declines to hear gunmakers’ challenge to New York firearms liability law

The US Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge from the National Shooting Sports Foundation against New York's firearms liability law. This decision upholds a lower court ruling, maintaining a statute that allows the state and victims of gun violence to file civil lawsuits against gun manufacturers, wholesalers, and dealers for harms resulting from the unlawful misuse of their products. The firearms industry had argued that the New York measure conflicts with a specific federal statute.
