\"Brady
The S&W M&P 15 Sporter II was the rifle used in the murder. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emboldened by the partial success of a similar lawsuit against Remington<\/a>, the gun control group Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence has launched a lawsuit against Smith & Wesson for what it calls \u201cirresponsible and unlawful conduct by a firearms manufacturer and seller for making, marketing, or selling weapons in an unsafe and illegal manner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suit was filed in San Diego Superior Court. It arises from an April 2019 incident in which a 20-year-old man who had made anti-Semitic statements killed one person at Chabad of Poway synagogue and wounded three others. He used a Smith & Wesson Model M&P 15 Sport II to commit the crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plaintiffs have also accused San Diego Guns of unlawfully selling\nthe man the rifle, his parents for facilitating their son\u2019s behavior, and\nCalifornia\u2019s Fish and Wildlife Department for not conducting a proper\nbackground check. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suit alleges that Smith & Wesson\u2019s rifle could be easily modified into an \u201cassault weapon\u201d in violation of California law or to \u201cfire automatically,\u201d according to a statement<\/a> from Brady. The group also claims the gun maker \u201cmarketed the rifle in violation of California\u2019s unfair business practices law, in a manner attractive to customers like the shooter, young men predisposed to violence.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe victims and survivors of this Passover shooting are\nbringing suit because they do not want another family or congregation, of any\nfaith, to suffer as theirs did,\u201d said Brady\u2019s Chief Legal Counsel Jonathan Lowy.\n\u201cDealers should sell guns legally and carefully. Manufacturers shouldn\u2019t\ndesign, market and sell assault weapons to attract and facilitate would-be mass\nshooters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brady\u2019s statement mentions a similar lawsuit against Remington, which it says was \u201cupheld\u201d in a Connecticut court. In reality, the suit was all but dismissed, as GunsAmerica reported<\/a> in March 2019. The courts threw out each of the plaintiffs\u2019 claims except one that alleged improper marketing practices. The Connecticut Supreme Court allowed that portion of the suit to move forward, but it has not yet been litigated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lawsuit against Smith & Wesson uses almost identical language to the suit against Remington. It claims the gun maker should be held accountable for \u201cirresponsible\u201d marketing practices that allegedly attract militaristic young men prone to violence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suit also claims that San Diego Guns should be liable for selling the murderer the rifle he used in the crime. According to ABC 10 News San Diego<\/a>, California law makes it illegal to sell a firearm to anyone under the age of 21 unless that person has completed a hunter\u2019s safety course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect completed a hunter\u2019s course on the same day he\npurchased the rifle, and presumably showed the gun shop employees the\ncertificate of completion that law enforcement found in his bedroom. But the\nlicense was not actually valid until July. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The executive director of San Diego County Gun Owners PAC told Times of San Diego<\/a>: \u201cWhat happened to the synagogue and those who attended is horrific. The lawsuit they are filing, in part, is asinine in that they are blaming the gun shop and manufacturer for the actions of a highly disturbed monster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe gun shop followed state law to the letter and\ncommunicated with the California DOJ flawlessly,\u201d said Michael Schwartz, the\ngroup\u2019s leader. \u201cThe hunting license presented in order to purchase the firearm\nwas legal, legitimate, issued by California, contained all required\ninformation, and was unaltered so therefore was valid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He continued: \u201cThe manufacturer is no more to blame than Ford or Chrysler is to blame for drunk driving. They are also legally protected by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. This is settled law which makes naming them as plaintiffs frivolous. I hope the victims are able to find peace through other means rather than following the advice of those who only want profit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
