Connecticut: Firearms Industry Liability Bill Headed to Governor – Your Action Needed!

Last week, the Connecticut Senate passed the Firearms Industry Liability Bill (HB 7042) as amended by the House. HB 7042 will now go to Governor Lamont for consideration.

HB 7042 allows civil causes of action to be brought against firearm industry members who allegedly fail to establish, implement, or enforce “reasonable controls,” as defined by the bill. This legislation has the potential to bankrupt local firearm industry members through a litany of lawsuits, inflating business costs in such a fashion that it severely limits opportunities for gun owners to lawfully purchase firearms, ammunition, and components.

NRA thanks Senator Rob Sampson (R-16) for testifying against this bill in the House and for his tireless efforts to amend the bill in the Senate to weaken its egregious impact on the industry.
