Supporters in the Republican-led Legislature said the law was needed to help a major employer. The lawsuits say Sig Sauer’s P320 pistol can go off without the trigger being pulled, an allegation the company denies.
The law covers all gun manufacturers and federal firearm licensees in product liability claims regarding the “absence or presence” of four specific safety features. One of those features is an external mechanical safety that people suing Sig Sauer say should be standard on the P320, based on its design. Claims can still be filed over manufacturing defects.
Until 2021 NYPD cops required 12 pound trigger pulls to prevent accidental discharges, but which also reduced accuracy and led to shooting bystanders.
Now they switched to five pound pulls and their guns start going off randomly?
Really this has been tested long enough that our conclusion should be “cops shouldn’t carry guns”
