By now most of everyone in the “gun world” are aware of the lawsuit filed against Armslist in a Wisconsin federal court. From link:
A federal lawsuit has been filed against the online gun dealer Armslist for facilitating the sale of a handgun that was used in the 2018 fatal shooting of on-duty Chicago police Cmdr. Paul Bauer. The lawsuit was filed in Milwaukee federal court on behalf of the family of Bauer, who was shot and killed in February 2018 in the Loop, allegedly by a convicted felon. The lawsuit was filed by the Brady organization, formerly known as the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, which has brought numerous other lawsuits that target the gun industry for negligence that leads to gun violence, including against Armslist.
“Gun Dealer” is a false statement. It’s a marketplace for private sellers that have to follow the law (it’s listed right when you go to the site). What’s interesting is the Brady Campaign is NOT listed as a party (plaintiff) in the lawsuit:
The Brady Campaign is listed as one the attorneys representing the plaintiff:
What this means is that while the plaintiff is being represented by them, it is NOT their lawsuit, as they are NOT listed as a party involved against Armslist, only providing legal services. This may be an issue for the plaintiff, as a similar case involving Armslist (Daniel vs Armslist) was struck down in the Wisconsin Supreme Court on 4/30/19.
