There are so many contradictions in that article alone it’s not even funny.
2018-2019 gun stats were ok but they rose 2019-2020 and are now dropping again. So let me ask how is the gun manufacturers marketing contributing to this? I have never seen a gun maker market a firearm to a gang member or drug dealer.
They then say how much the ghost guns have risen and contributed to gun crimes and yet none of these makers make ghost guns right?
I do have to say I’m pleased to see the large players that supply cops and municipalities with their weapons. If they were smart they would say we won’t sell you guns anymore. That would make me buy a Glock just for support.

Agreed, he is still better than that looney that ran against him.
I'm pretty sure glock doesn't advertise how good their guns are for dive by shootings or market them as desirable for crime.
Sounds like scapegoating for shitty people to me. Want to know who is responsible for all the crime? It's not glock's fault. It's not S&W's fault. It's not my fault. It's not anyone here's fault. It's not the Easter bunny or Jesus's fault. Who has the fault? The people that do the crime. That's it, period.
Wanna know who is to blame for all the shootings in the city? I will tell you. Some may not like the true and honest answer. If you are offended by the answer, tough. The "illegal" gun trade and the shootings and the killings are not the fault of the gun makers. It is not the fault of the police. It falls directly onto two entities:
The elected in NY State and the black residents of the city. Look up the stats, 92% of all killing/shootings in the city are done by people of one group. This article is a year old, year after year, the numbers stay the same.

Surge in gun violence disproportionately hits Buffalo's Black residents
Through the end of August, 217 people have either been injured or killed in a shooting in the city, according to Buffalo Police Department data.

How many Republican run cities are suing gun manufacturers?
How many rural areas and Suburbs have these kinds of issues?
Ever wonder why these areas are so different?

I fired a large handgun in my neighborhood last week. No one was hurt / killed. No one called the police. A member of our local wildlife population however was affected. I'd like to personally than Sturm & Ruger. Their clever marketing strategies were too much for me.
Picking what you are placing down, but, your story is far different than the ones we here about in the City of Buffalo. You see, in the Burbs and the rural areas, we tend to use our firearms in a much different and more sensible manner.

Seems like the city of Buffalo would be better off suing the plethora of mumble rappers who promote being an all around jackass.

Same in Rottenchester as Buffalo. Small pockets of people from similar neighborhoods are committing these crimes. easy to find them if the elected and the Police look.

Quick question.... If Buffalo and Rochester colluded in their unlawful lawsuits in violation of the Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, would count as racketeering?
Nothing done by any government is ever illegal.

This is the grand scheme. Bankrupt the gun industry. They are draining the NRA they also are draining us on the lawsuits for the CCIA. They threatened to fine Targetsports and other online ammo dealers. Essentially what they are doing is using economic sanctions to cripple the gun industry. It’s a war and they are pulling out all stops.

It's called lawfare.
They are fighting a total war, and we are playing Marquess of Queensbury rules.
No city council is afraid that downtown will burn to the ground if they piss off the right wingers, and it shows.

so there going after all the hardware stores there too ..
the mayor should be sued for allowing repeat offenders back out on the streets because long jail time may hurt there feelings ..

They have a plan. They also have unlimited resources. There’s only so many battles we can fight. It takes millions in legal fees to fight all this and they know we can only fight so long. What I’m about to say may not be well received but it’s real- Unless there is a major shift in public opinion, they will eventually win. Most people don’t understand or care to understand the importance of the second amendment. They hear AR-15 or semi automatic weapon and all they think of is Uvalde or Newtown massacres. Younger generations are clueless. On top of that elections are compromised. I don’t want to be negative but I am honestly pessimistic about the future of this country.
