AG William Tong today submitted testimony backing legislation proposed by his office to enable the state, municipalities and private citizens to sue bad actors in the gun industry who fail to take reasonable, commonsense measures to protect us from gun violence. “The Office of the Attorney General stands ready to enforce this law to go after improper practices within the firearm industry that threaten the lives and safety of Connecticut residents. Connecticut has long been a national leader for gun safety, and, in honor of our painful history, we should stand up again to hold the firearm industry responsible for their actions. By passing this bill Connecticut will continue to lead and to keep its citizens safe,” Attorney General Tong states in the testimony.
