NY Attorney General sues gun accessory company for aiding Buffalo shooter and seeks to ban them from doing business in the state.
TL;DR Summary
New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit against Mean Arms, the maker of a gun safety part called the MA Lock, claiming that it aided Buffalo shooter Payton Gendron in carrying out his deadly rampage. Gendron was able to remove the MA Lock from an AR-15 within minutes using basic tools and instructions provided by Mean Arms, according to the lawsuit. The device was marketed as compliant with New York gun laws, but James alleges that it could easily be removed, making guns deadlier. Gendron was sentenced to life in prison for killing 10 black people at Tops Friendly Markets in May 2022.
