| URGENT: NJ SENATE COMMITTEE
SCHEDULES LAST-MINUTE HEARING
ON GUNMAKER LIABILITY BILL |
Saturday, June 11. 2022. Late yesterday, the NJ Senate Judiciary Committee amended its agenda for this Monday morning (June 13) to add a hearing on S-1893 - gunmaker liability legislation that turns well established principles of law on their head and allows the NJ attorney general to sue and harass firearms makers into oblivion even though they have made a perfectly legal, properly functioning product.
PLEASE IMMEDIATELY CONTACT EVERY NJ STATE SENATOR AND TELL THEM TO VOTE AGAINST S-1893 FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. S1893 turns basic principles of law on their head and allows the manufacturer of a legal, properly functioning product to be sued for the misconduct of others.
2. S1893 is explicitly preempted by federal law (the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act) which forbids frivolous lawsuits against manufacturers.
3. S1893 potentially harms military and law enforcement by decimating the manufacturers of products needed in performance of their duties.
4. S1893 empowers the NJ Attorney General to harass, investigate, and inflict serious damage on firearms manufacturers and dealers without having to prove any misconduct whatsoever. Please watch for future updates and alerts as this issue unfolds. |
