Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott announced a lawsuit against the nation’s largest ghost gun manufacturer, Polymer80, alleging the company sparked a “public health crisis.”
“Ghost guns are a devastating menace to the people of Baltimore.
“This lawsuit shines a light on Polymer80 and individuals who routinely create a marketplace for deadly, untraceable weapons. The availability of these weapons – particularly to criminals, juveniles and other people who are prohibited from owning a firearm – presents a growing public health crisis. We must stop Polymer80 and companies like it that profit from destroying our communities,” Scott said in a City Hall press release.
The lawsuit outlines how Polymer80 undermines federal and state firearms laws, selling ghost gun kits to people who don’t need a background check.
“Directly or indirectly through its network of dealers, Polymer80 has flooded Baltimore with these untraceable, unserialized firearms,” the City Hall press release said.
“Polymer80 must be held accountable for its role in creating the ghost gun crisis in Baltimore,” said Steve Kelly, Partner and Co-Chair of Sanford Heisler Sharp’s Criminal/Sexual Violence Practice Group.
“This lawsuit is the first step in accountability and, hopefully, ending the flow of these deadly firearms in the community,” added Brady Senior Litigation Counsel Philip Bangle.
The suit alleges negligence and public disturbance claims and violation of the Maryland Consumer Protection Act. The mayor seeks compensation from the company for policing costs. ‘
I was recently in Baltimore Maryland and saw a four wheeler ATV parked in a parking spot in the city. I said something to a Baltimore City Police Officer who was standing nearby about the four wheeler and his response was that Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott issued a standing order to stand down and do not take any action! WTF! This is why big cities are running amok!!
I love my Ghost Gun! Snicker, Snicker…..
