NY sues gun component maker for aiding illegal possession of assault weapons by Buffalo mass shooter.
New York's attorney general has filed a lawsuit against gun component maker Mean Arms for allegedly aiding in the illegal possession of assault weapons in the state, including the weapon used in the Buffalo grocery store shooting last year, by marketing an ammunition lock that can be easily removed. The lawsuit alleges that Mean Arms provides instructions on its packaging of how to remove the lock, making the firearm illegal in the state. The attorney general's office is seeking to stop Mean Arms from selling MA Locks in New York, issue corrective statements, and pay restitution and damages.
