Illinois Attorney General backs controversial New Jersey gun law
CHICAGO (CBS) – A new law aimed at holding gunmakers responsible for violence is getting support from the Illinois Attorney General.
Kwame Raoul is among 18 attorneys general who signed onto a brief in support of a controversial New Jersey gun law.
The law would allow members of the gun industry to be sued in cases where the public is harmed by gun violence.
However, a firearms trade association sued to stop the law from taking effect. Raoul and his coalition are asking a judge to let the law go forward.
