Brady vs. Lucky Gunner
The Brady Center recently organized a lawsuit against us. Their
stated goal was to put us out of business, and we believe, to outlaw the
sale of ammunition online by judicial decree. After several months of
spending our own money defending the lawsuit, it was dismissed and the
judge awarded us $111,971.10 as a partial reimbursement for our legal
fees.
We’re a small team of hardworking people, and we took the Brady
Center's assault against us and the 2nd Amendment very seriously. So
far, we’ve spent more than $150,000 of our own money to hire the best
attorneys we could find. Our goal was to protect our livelihood and to
protect the 2nd Amendment rights of Americans to responsibly buy and
sell ammunition online.
We believe this lawsuit was just one step in the direction of
sidestepping Congress and outlawing the sale of ammunition online. As
stated by the judge in his ruling:
"It is apparent that this case was filed to pursue the political
purposes of the Brady Center and, given the failure to present any
cognizable legal claim, bringing these defendants [Lucky Gunner] into
the Colorado court... appears to be more of an opportunity to
propagandize the public and stigmatize the defendants than to obtain a
court order."
The Brady Center predictably appealed the judge’s ruling and we are
prepared to continue defending your rights and ours. While it is not yet
clear when the $111,971.10 fee reimbursement will be paid, we are going
to donate 100% of what is recovered to groups that support and defend
the 2nd Amendment. We will fight to recover these funds from the Brady
Center and to hold the Brady Center responsible for yet another
frivolous lawsuit.
Please tell us where you want the recovered fees to go by voting in
the form below. A number of organizations were added per shooter
requests on June 23. We will end the voting on August 1, 2015. Once we
have recovered the fees, we'll cut checks to each organization receiving
votes on a percentage basis. In other words, if "Organization A" gets
5% of the vote, it will receive 5% of whatever is recovered.
Thank you for your continued support and interest in protecting 2nd
Amendment rights. As we were very recently reminded, these rights are
under constant assault and the stakes are high.
