So says the Connecticut Supreme Court.
They are seeking information about Remington’s marketing strategy for the Bushmaster AR-15. The question is whether gun manufacturers such as Remington actively marketed assault weapons such as the AR-15 “to civilians for criminal purposes” in violation of the state’s consumer protection laws, Connecticut Supreme Court Justice Richard Palmer wrote in the March decision.
“We also conclude that Congress has not clearly manifested an intent to extinguish the traditional authority of our legislature and our courts to protect the people of Connecticut from the pernicious practices alleged in the present case. The regulation of advertising that threatens the public’s health, safety, and morals has long been considered a core exercise of the states’ police powers,” Justice Palmer wrote.
They don’t really believe that a legitimate manufacturer would market anything “for criminal purposes.” That’s self defeating, as criminals get caught, thus preventing future sales to said individuals.
That’s just legal-speak for “We don’t like you and want to see you go bankrupt.”
As for where the prog nanny state goes from here, you’ve heard the most concise admission you’ll ever hear from any prog. They’re smarter than you and want to regulate your morals. Not the morals of abortionists, but of you. Morals is decided in the halls of Congress, or in other words, by the deeds of demons, gargoyles and pit vipers.
Go back to your labors, peasants.

Another core exercise of the States’ Police Powers has been bulldozing millions into trenches.

And yet how many firearm manufacturers are still seeking government contracts and offering law-enforcement-only products?
