Judge threatens to sanction lawyers seeking gun law injunction

Mendez said the plaintiff’s attorneys, seeking a preliminary injunction against a law that allows private right of action lawsuits against gun manufacturers, had caused unnecessary delay and court costs because the state attorney general had said his office doesn’t intend to enforce the law.
U.S. District Judge John A. Mendez has threatened sanctions against attorneys seeking a preliminary injunction against a California law allowing a private right of action against the makers and sellers of firearms.
