CT Bill Could Hold Gun Manufacturers Liable for Crimes

Connecticut legislators are debating a new bill, HB 7042, which aims to hold gun manufacturers and retailers liable for crimes committed with their firearms if they fail to prevent misuse. Advocates for the bill, including gun control groups and Sandy Hook survivors, argue that it would provide victims of gun violence with civil remedies and encourage responsible practices among those selling firearms and accessories.

Opponents, including gun rights activists and industry representatives, warn that the legislation could drive up costs and jeopardize the livelihoods of legal gun dealers. This comes in the wake of testimony highlighting that ninety percent of crime guns are linked to just five percent of dealers, suggesting that increased accountability for irresponsible practices could be pivotal in combating gun violence in the state.
