Friend,
I have huge news: Brady’s legal experts just concluded the historic trial of the largest ghost gun dealer in Maryland, winning the largest ever verdict dealt against a gun company in American history. The jury awarded the City of Baltimore $62 million in damages after the gun dealer flooded the streets with deadly, untraceable ghost guns.
We just set the historic precedent that there are consequences for dealers who capitalize on crime to feed their bottom line; The gun dealers and manufacturers who’ve proliferated lethal weapons in our communities are not protected from punishment.
This historic victory is just the beginning of holding gun dealers accountable. If you support this fight, will you respond to Brady’s live poll now?

For years, Hanover Armory flooded Baltimore’s streets with unserialized, untraceable firearms called “ghost guns.” Gun dealers know what they’re doing when they advertise these deadly weapons. And in the case of Hanover Armory, advertising to customers that “Nobody will know you have it.” It was predictable that ghost guns would get into the hands of purchasers with criminal records, gun traffickers, and minors – ghost guns were recovered from kids as young as 13 years old.
For two weeks, we worked around the clock to ensure that Hanover Armory was held accountable for the harm it caused the City of Baltimore. This is part of Brady’s ongoing work to stem the proliferation of ghost guns into our communities – and I want to show my tireless team that Brady activists are with them. Will you respond to our poll now?

Hanover Armory thought they figured out a nifty trick to tap into the criminal and juvenile market for guns: sell guns disassembled in a box, call them “kits,” and throw those “pesky laws” that are in place to stop gun dealers from selling guns to kids and criminals out the window. Laws like asking for IDs, conducting Brady Background Checks, and keeping records of sales.
The deadly impact was immediate. Sold without ID checks or serial numbers, law enforcement can’t track ghost guns back to the buyer after they’re recovered. Hanover Armory thought their “nifty trick” pulled the wool over the regulators’ eyes. Hanover Armory thought it could finally tap into the lucrative criminal market for guns.
Deadly ghost guns undermine the gun laws that keep us safe, and negligent dealers must be held accountable for propelling the preventable bloodshed in Baltimore and other cities across the country. If you agree – please, respond to Brady’s urgent survey now:

The gun violence epidemic in Baltimore is fueled by businesses that are more interested in their bottom line than public safety. Brady Legal is working to keep the citizens of Baltimore and all Americans safe. I so appreciate your support.
