Everyone said it but nobody reported it? Threads merged.

Seems to me that this is a criminal matter for the Marion County Prosecutor or the US Attorney's Office. If they actually violated Indiana and/or Federal firearms laws, then they will certainly have some 'splainin' to do.

But what standing does the Brady Foundation have here?

Of course the tactic may be to simply drive this shop out of business since they will have to defend themselves even if this is a frivolous suit. I don't think it would be the first instance of this sort of behavior.

Hey! I'm no snitch !!

According to one report I read, KS&E is in the top 1% nationwide of stores that sold guns used in crimes. My experience there leads me to believe that they are stand-up guys, and I wish them the best. However, if that report is true, doesn't it seem odd that such a small shop would rank so high?

I've heard something similar. But how is this knowable?

They wont be able to prove he sold it knowing it was a straw buy, this is nothing more than political, to make a statement. i'm sure money has something to do with it as well.

 

[Bunnykid68]

But that officer wants his money and he is going to sue to try and get it

 

[Hoosier8]

You see the pattern.

The Brady Center is assisting in eight other pending “negligent gun distribution” lawsuits across the U.S., including one in Lake County in which Gary officials have sued 21 manufacturers and distributors, six gun dealers and three trade associations for public nuisance and liability.

Could not agree more. I've witnessed them turn people away myself. They are always on it when it comes to background checks etc. People somehow think/assume that KS&E is selling directly to known felon's...by the way they make it sound. IMPD wants to get rid of KS&E because of who their market it specifically. High crime and low income area. I think someone should contact the ACLU to let them know that the rights of poor/minority groups are being impeded on the east side of Indianapolis.

Why not the effort to shut down Don's Guns? After all his store is very much in the low income area. And there are lots of felons walking through his doors. Even saw a straw sale going down.

And you called the proper authorities correct?

No one is going to touch it. Don is just too powerful to take out. ATF has tried.

I've never heard of this shop. But a big **** you Brady *****es!

East side of Indy. Right up Pendleton Pike and just east of I-465.

BTW, the next shop to be targeted is Bradis. Don is too politically connected to be touched, even though he does sell to felons.

"Lowy said he disagrees with that assessment but declined to specify how the lawsuit would skirt the statute cited by Relford." So in other words, the best Lowy could come up with was, "Nuh uh!"

Yuh huh! Laws are meaningless!

Clearly an attempt by the Brady Center to get some extensive pub in the media. The suit is frivolous and will not survive summary judgment.
