Brady Center is suing Armslist ...

[BadgeBunny]

I did a search but didn't come up with anything. If there is already a thread hidden somewhere, mods, please delete ...

Otherwise ... It was just a matter of time ... I gotta admit I'm surprised it hasn't happened before now ...

From the article:

"The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence alleges that the design of armslist.com facilitates illegal online sales to unlawful gun buyers with no background checks, and enables users to evade laws that permit private sellers to sell guns only to residents of their own state."

No standing for BC, is there? Toss it with prejudice.

Interesting. Did not know Armslist was an OK company.

I had no idea that armslist was based in Noble, OK. This should be great publicity for them. In fact if I were the owner of armslist, I would make a suggestion to someone over at the Brady Center that they should sue me. Then I would start a legal fund and watch the donations pour in. Hell, I may even throw some in myself if it comes to that.

Unfortunately "standing" has very little to do with trying to put a place out of business ... Hopefully, Armslist will survive this ...

Interesting that the article mentions that Armslist is based out of Noble becaus the domain registry for the website is based out of Pennsylvania

I find it interesting that Brady is going to try and sue even though Armslist has a disclaimer about being 18 (or 21) and not doing anything illegal. If they pull it off I could imagine suing porn sites for not doing enough to keep me out of them when I was in high school.

Sure enough Armslist is listed with the Oklahoma Secretary of State as a registered business

I will chip in on Armslist defense... Too many stupid people out there blaming everyone else for their stupidity.
