BLACK CREEK, GA – On February 14th, Daniel Defense, manufacturer of the world’s finest firearms and accessories, followed through on our promise to vigorously defend our Company and our customers’ Second Amendment rights by filing a motion to dismiss the suit in Torres v. Daniel Defense in the United States District Court in Del Rio, Texas brought by Everytown Law and others.
The suit is simply another attempt by Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown group to promote their false narrative that someone other than the criminal is responsible for crime, and to continue their campaign to destroy lawful citizen access to firearms by suing manufacturers out of existence. Daniel Defense will strongly defend our customers’ rights to responsibly acquire and use our products. We look forward to continuing to support our loyal customers as we seek the immediate dismissal of all frivolous actions filed against us.
Everytown Law is a part of Everytown for Gun Safety, a national group committed to intensely attacking gun rights in just about every category of lawful use or supply, including eliminating sound legal protections for firearms manufacturers and dealers, and banning AR-15 rifles and common capacity magazines. Unfortunately, organizations like Everytown are committed to significantly eroding Second Amendment freedoms and are directly involved in Torres and similar lawsuits with the objective of nullifying clear federal law protecting the lawful right to manufacture firearms.
The events in Uvalde are a tragedy for that community, the people of Texas and for our nation. Justice for the victims of murder is not achieved, however, by creating a judicial exception to the long-standing precedent that manufacturers of legal products are not responsible when their products are used for illegal purposes by third parties. Under the law, the responsibility for the deaths of Uvalde’s school children and their teachers is and must be laid at the feet of the criminal who committed these heinous acts.
