After a long battle, a measure that would force gun dealers and manufacturers to follow a code of conduct or face lawsuits was approved by the City Council on a vote of 43-2. Int. 0365-2004, which would hold gun makers responsible for the criminal misuse of firearms, was kept at bay for almost two years while Council Speaker Gifford Miller (D) and Mayor Micheal Bloomberg (R) worked with sponsors of the measure to pry it out of Chairman Peter Vallone`s (D) Public Safety Committee. Miller and Bloomberg were forced to accept several changes to the original proposal but the end result still amounts to an assault on consumer access to a legal product.
