Everytown Law is proud to join AG Brian Schwalb and Anthony G. Brown in filing a lawsuit against three federally licensed gun dealers for ignoring clear warning signs and illegally selling dozens of guns to a straw purchaser, who then trafficked the weapons.

The gun violence in DC — and the devastating impact it has on victims, families, and communities — is unacceptable. These gun dealers put their profits over our public safety. Together, we're holding them accountable for their clear negligence and blatant disregard for the law.

Today, we announced a lawsuit against three Maryland gun stores that illegally sold firearms to a straw purchaser, leading to their trafficking into the District. These stores must be held accountable for their role in endangering public safety across the DMV. We are committed to

“All three of these stores ignored the red flags and instead chose to sell guns to Mr. Minor anyway. They made a choice: a choice to put their profits over our public safety. A choice to put their profits over our people.” - AG Brian Schwalb washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/…

Many of the guns illegally sold by these dealers ended up in crime scenes across DC and in the hands of individuals with violent felonies. We need to do more than chase guns after they have already been trafficked here. We also need to get to the source. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/…

Great step by AG Brian Schwalb to get guns off DC streets! This is why I fought to include new Firearm Tracing in #SecureDC, the crime bill Council passed last spring. When we know where illegal guns are coming from we can hold irresponsible gun shops accountable and stop the flow.
