Gee, No Gun Control

Do gun makers sell weapons directly to criminals?

A federal appeals court threw out New York City’s longstanding lawsuit against the gun industry on Wednesday, ruling that a relatively new federal law protects gun makers against such suits.

The appellate ruling killed perhaps the boldest avenue by which the city has sought to stem the flow of illegal guns into New York: a claim that gun makers and distributors have knowingly flooded illicit, underground markets with their weapons.


Criminals have a way of getting guns from law abiding citizens. It is called stealing them---that is what criminals do.
