Plaintiffs’ attorneys and anti-gun groups are constantly testing different theories in litigation against firearm manufacturers and dealers, but on July 24, 2024, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in Lowy v. Daniel Defense, et al. issued an order dismissing the plaintiffs’ claims against a number of Braum|Rudd’s firearm manufacturer clients.  Lowy involved an effort to use manufacturers’ advertising as a basis to hold FFLs liable for a deranged individual’s intentional criminal conduct.  This decision is expected to have value beyond the Lowy case itself as plaintiffs continue to evolve in their efforts to baselessly hold the firearms industry liable for the illegal actions of others.

Braum|Rudd’s attorneys represent members of the firearms industry in litigation and ATF regulatory matters all over the country, and they are here to assist your company when the need arises.
