Supreme Court declines to hear challenge to New York law allowing lawsuits against gun makers

The Supreme Court has opted not to review a challenge to New York's 2021 law permitting lawsuits against gun manufacturers, a decision that upholds the state's stance against federal preemption claims. The National Shooting Sports Foundation, along with major gun makers like Smith & Wesson and Beretta, argued that the law violated federal regulations. This ruling is significant because it maintains the ability of localities to impose stricter gun control measures than federal law, potentially influencing future debates on gun legislation and public safety.
