U.S. Supreme Court lets stand a New York law enabling people to sue gun manufacturers for negligence

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a case challenging a New York law that allows lawsuits against gun manufacturers for negligence in preventing firearm trafficking, theft, and misuse. The law, enacted in 2021, requires manufacturers to take steps to ensure guns do not fall into the wrong hands, enabling victims to sue if these rules are violated. The decision upholds the law after years of legal challenges from the gun industry.
