CT Bill Targets Gun Industry Accountability in Lawsuits

The Connecticut House of Representatives is poised to pass a significant bill that would make it easier for residents, officials, and victims of gun violence to sue the firearms industry for negligence. This legislation aims to hold manufacturers, marketers, and dealers accountable for their roles in promoting unsafe gun usage, a move critics label as potentially enriching trial lawyers.

One of the key provisions of the bill would allow lawsuits based on a failure to implement reasonable sales and marketing controls, seeking to close gaps left by federal protections established in the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. State Representative Steve Stafstrom highlights that this approach aligns Connecticut with similar measures taken in states like California and New York, emphasizing the importance of civil redress for victims and accountability for gun manufacturers.
