If suit is filed against Gun Manufacturer's for manufacturing guns, like Josey" post reads, and because the state collects money o the sale of each firearm, wouldn't that make them a party to their own lawsuit? Seems if they say that "too many" are being manufactured, then they too are making too much money, which is why they are being made. A little over my head, but what the heck, drag the S.o.b's into their own court for the same reason.part of Josey's post follows Newark's complaint asks for injunctive relief and damages for the cost of "additional police protection, emergency and hospital services, pension benefits and health care" as well as for the "loss of investment, economic development and tax revenue due to the lost productivity" caused by gun violence. It alleges that gun manufacturers sell weapons that lack available safety devices and they mislead the public about the safety of guns and their effectiveness in deterring crime. The defendants range from big manufacturers such as Smith & Wesson Corp., Colt's Manufacturing, Browning Arms and Glock Inc. to Ray's Sports Shop on Route 22 in North Plainfield, N.J. The manufacturers also enable guns to get into the wrong hands by knowingly "producing and selling substantially more firearms than could be justified by the legitimate gun market," Newark alleges.
