New York is not done with its circular firing squad on gun control.
The New York nuisance law was crafted after a series of failures of similar such nuisance laws in areas ranging from paint to, yes, guns. Indeed, Congress passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act of 2005, giving gun sellers and manufacturers immunity from liability arising out of the criminal misuse of firearms.
It is political merit — rather than legal merit — that has often propelled New York anti-gun laws.
