BILL TARGETS GUN-MAKERS
By FRANKIE EDOZIEN
April 22, 2002 -- Victims of gun violence in New York City should be allowed to sue the manufacturers if they don't follow a code of conduct designed to thwart illegal trafficking, a councilman proposed yesterday.
David Yassky (D-Brooklyn) said the bill would leave gun-makers open to suit unless they:
* Refuse to supply stores that sell more than 20 guns used in crimes in a year.
* Refuse to sell guns to dealers who resell them at gun shows.
* Sell only to stores that have a "one gun a month" limit on individuals.
* Sell only to dealers with stores who have permanent addresses, display permits and maintain computerized records.

"If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege." - Arkansas Supreme Court, 1878
