Smith & Wesson must give N.J. internal documents on how it markets guns, courts rule

New Jersey’s top law enforcement official is renewing a demand for Smith & Wesson Brands Inc. to turn over internal documents on how it markets guns after courts ruled against the manufacturer.

“When I say that we need to be creative, this past fall I subpoenaed Smith & Wesson for documents relating to what I believe is their false advertising in New Jersey,” Grewal said early June during a virtual roundtable hosted by March for Our Lives, a Florida-based nonprofit that advocates for stricter gun laws.

The company ran local commercials that claimed “gun use would make people safer” without providing evidence or acknowledging New Jersey laws that limit where guns can be carried, Grewal said.

The article outlines a broader approach New Jersey is taking in the struggle to decrease gun violence. Former state Attorney General Gurbir Grewal in essence invited any law firm, in or out of state, with experience in the gun arena to take part in civil suits on a contingency basis. Effectively saying we'll provide the case and if you pursue it you get a % of any settlement.

Cities and States are fighting back and now have a tool provided by the Sandy Hook families; the way gun makers market their product. The hope is that if the public can get a look at how guns are sold to the public and management held accountable in public hearings the result will be the same as big tabacco.

Wouldn't that be a glorious sight? I'd cough up whatever they charge for a Pay Per View it went to more attempts to curb the gun industry's bloody business of death.
