A Massive Legal Victory for Gun Violence Prevention
In a season of difficult national news pertaining to guns in America, Brady: United Against Gun Violence celebrates a massive legal victory for gun violence prevention efforts.
The city of Baltimore, represented by Brady and co-council, has been awarded $62 million in a landmark verdict against Hanover Armory, Maryland’s largest ghost gun dealer. This is the largest verdict ever issued against a gun dealer in U.S. history. The lawsuit, filed by Baltimore’s Mayor and City Council, claimed Hanover Armory flooded the city with untraceable, un-serialized ghost guns, contributing to rising violent crime and endangering public safety. These firearms are often sold in kits without background checks or identification requirements. The jury sided with the plaintiffs, holding the dealer financially accountable for its role in the city’s gun violence crisis.
This victory sets a national precedent for holding gun retailers liable for their role in supplying a dangerous category of weapons with public safety consequences.
