Mr. Bloomberg has pursued since taking office, claimed that manufacturers such as Beretta, Browning, Glock, and others were indirectly contributing to gun violence in New York City by not regulating how their products were sold. The city had sought a court order requiring the companies to take a variety of steps to monitor gun shows and discourage the sale of more than a single gun at a time to a purchaser. The city claimed that by not policing how guns were sold, the manufacturers were violating a state statute against being a "criminal nuisance."

This is from a May 1, 2008 article in the New York Sun.

"The Glock Corporation has reached the painful decision to desist from doing further business with the NYPD or any other agencies of New York City's government pending receipt of a public declaration from Mayor Bloomberg that both he himself as a private citizen, and his city's legal department will no longer pursue frivolous lawsuits in violation of federal law against the Glock Corporation or its subsidiaries. We look forward to a time when Mr. Bloomberg returns to governing his city instead of assaulting the 2nd Amendment rights of citizens who live outside of his jurisdiction; and instead of wasting the courts' time and resources to continually harass responsible corporations which carry out their business entirely within the context of federal law. Well known cultist L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of the Church of Scientology, is known to have famously said that "The purpose of the suit is to harass and discourage rather than win.*" This is, of course, an illegitimate use of the courts, and Mayor Bloomberg does not bring honor upon himself by applying those same illegitimate tactics against a legitimate business." We are calling on other suppliers and manufacturers of service pistols to join us in this embargo."
