The defendants are being accused of negligence, public nuisance and violation of business codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brady is representing families of victims killed in a 2017 mass murder in California that left six people dead, including the killer, Kevin Neal. Neal allegedly used a \u201cghost gun\u201d he built at home to commit the crime, despite being ordered by a judge to surrender all his weapons as part of a restraining order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suit argues that the defendants knew when they started their businesses that they would be supplying firearms to \u201ccriminals, killers, and others whose possession of firearms pose an unacceptably high threat of injury or death to others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suit also uses a line of attack leveled against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/supreme-court-sandy-hook-suit-proceed-remington\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"brady-united-brings-first-of-their-kind-lawsuits-against-companies-that-sell-ghost-guns\" title=\"Brady United Brings First-of-Their-Kind Lawsuits Against Companies that Sell 'Ghost Guns'\">other gun companies<\/a> by claiming their marketing materials \u201cintentionally targeted prohibited persons and other dangerous individuals like Neal. Such tactics and practices were unfair, immoral, unethical, oppressive, and unscrupulous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe shouldn\u2019t have to say that those convicted of violent felonies and other people who are legally prohibited from possessing guns should not be able to possess guns. But some businesses put us all at risk by selling to virtually anyone DIY kits that can then be easily assembled into illegal, deadly, and untraceable assault weapons, all without a Brady background check or paper trail,\u201d said Brady Legal Chief Counsel and co-counsel for the plaintiffs, Jonathan Lowy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/nationwide-push-to-ban-ghost-guns-gains-steam-with-new-legislation\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"brady-united-brings-first-of-their-kind-lawsuits-against-companies-that-sell-ghost-guns\" title=\"Brady United Brings First-of-Their-Kind Lawsuits Against Companies that Sell 'Ghost Guns'\">Nationwide Push to Ban \u2018Ghost Guns\u2019 Gains Steam with New Legislation<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cody Wilson, the director of Ghost Gunner Inc., one of the defendants, called the suits \u201clow effort attempts to confuse the public and frustrate the lawful purpose of making your own firearms in California,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.claimsjournal.com\/news\/national\/2020\/12\/09\/300923.htm\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"brady-united-brings-first-of-their-kind-lawsuits-against-companies-that-sell-ghost-guns\" title=\"Brady United Brings First-of-Their-Kind Lawsuits Against Companies that Sell 'Ghost Guns'\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Claims Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cases were filed in Superior Court of Orange County and San Bernardino County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plaintiffs are asking for unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCompanies who evade state and federal gun safety laws in order to market gun kits to people who cannot lawfully buy or possess guns in California should face liability for their negligence,\u201d said Brady co-counsel Amy Van Zant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/schumer-doj-atf-crack-down-ghost-guns\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"brady-united-brings-first-of-their-kind-lawsuits-against-companies-that-sell-ghost-guns\" title=\"Brady United Brings First-of-Their-Kind Lawsuits Against Companies that Sell 'Ghost Guns'\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schumer Calls on DOJ, ATF to Crack Down on \u2018Ghost Guns\u2019 (Gun Parts, Kits)<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGhost guns\u201d refer to firearms that can be manufactured at home from \u201c80-percent\u201d lowers or receivers.
