Gun Control Watch

Palmetto State Armory among others are being sue for a shotgun that it is claimed exploded as the shooter was chambering a round.
Apparently he and a lawyer group (Freedom) are going after not only the gun's manufacturer (Rock Island), but also the ammo manufacturer (Blackwater Worldwide), the online retailer of the ammo (Tactical Shit), and the seller of the shotgun (PSA)

It should be noted there was a recall of the ammo. Not clear if the recall occurred before or after the mentioned incident

Oh and the article then goes on to throw in PSA's supposed ties to republican politics and even manages to drag Trump into this. Yeah, they went there.

Glock getting sued for....yeah you're going to love this one

In April of 2022, 62-year-old Frank James put on a gas mask and set off smoke bomb in a New York City subway car as it travelled through Brooklyn. That caused the other passengers to run to the opposite end of the car. Once there, James opened fire on them with a 9mm handgun.

James wounded 10 passengers and more were injured in the chaos that resulted. All told, 29 people were hospitalized, but — miraculously — no one was killed.

But wait, how is this Glock's fault?

The plaintiffs allege that GLOCK is liable because their marketing of the G17 pistol the subway shooter used emphasized its ability to be concealed, something that’s allegedly attractive to criminals and would be terrorists. The suit also alleges that GLOCK has made too many handguns. They claim that has resulted in more sales of used guns on the secondary market. How, exactly, that promotes criminal use isn’t really clear.

And it gets better

But wait, there’s more. They also criticize GLOCK for failing to remove the use of its brand name and product images from “song lyrics, movies, television series and video games.” We suppose the logic here is the use of GLOCK’s name and guns in popular culture somehow glamorizes their use in the eyes of criminals and other wackos.

In more detail

Defendants, through their marketing practices in the manufacture, distribution, and sale of guns, including the subject Glock firearm, have contributed to creating and maintaining a public nuisance in the State of New York and have endangered the public health and safety in the following manner:

a. Marketing that emphasizes firearm characteristics such as their high capacity and ease of concealment, that appeal to prospective purchasers with criminal intent, including but not limited to through advertisement, product placement in movies and rap music;
b. Purposely supplying more firearms than the legitimate market could bear in order to induce sales in the secondary market;
c. Not training dealers to avoid straw sales and other illegal transactions; and
d. Refusing to terminate contracts with distributors who sold to dealers with disproportionately high volumes of guns traced to crime scenes.
e. Failing to have Glock removed from song lyrics, movies, television series and video games.
f. Failing to stop the glorification of Glock ownership and use through media and celebrity endorsements.
g. In successfully burying news articles, stories and documentaries that criticized or publicized Glock’s history and marketing

I for one would like to know how they intend to explain how Glock managed g

RIDICULOUS: Glock Sued Over Their Role In Mass Casualty Events


Direct link to the lawsuit https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap ... 34.1.0.pdf

And in local news they're still arguing over the River City Firearms lawsuit

Judge weighs whether to allow mass shooting lawsuit against River City Firearms to continue
https://www.wave3.com/2025/04/14/judge- ... -continue/

Note this part

Lawyers of the victims’ families say they can. That River City Firearms shouldn’t have sold the shooter the gun, and the accessories only made the gun deadlier.

“Did the shooter need these items in order to make the gun work,” Poppe asked. “The answer is no. Therefore, they are accessories. If they’re accessories, they’re not covered by this federal statute,” said Poppe.

If you recall they're suing the gun store for not only selling him the gun but also magazines, a red dot, and a forward grip using that as in attempt to get around the law regarding responsibility

This is a new strategy being used across the country. “Accessories” not being covered by the two A since they aren’t a firearm. It’s a dangerous evolution in anti rights activists playbook.
