Connecticut’s House Bill 7042 would effectively allow victims of gun violence to sue the gun industry, from seller to manufacturer, for violence committed by a gun they helped bring to market in any way, shape, or form.
The draconian law, which, on its face, is an overt violation of the spirit of the second amendment, would not only destroy the gun industry, it would destroy any industry that produces any product or service that can be used malevolently by one of their customers. The bill is expected to pass.

Excerpt:
Connecticut lawmakers have introduced House Bill 7042, a proposed law that could fundamentally change how firearm sales are regulated. The bill, titled the Firearm Industry Responsibility Act, would allow civil lawsuits to be filed against gun dealers, manufacturers, and distributors if a firearm they sold is later used in a crime. While the bill is still in the early stages of legislative review, it has already sparked strong reactions from both gun rights advocates and legal analysts who see it as a direct attack on gun sellers and possibly an attempt to force gun shops out of business.
