Gun seller may sue Everytown for Gun Safety for defamation

Then there's this..In Vermont, an online petition asking Attorney General William Sorrell to investigate the tactics used by Everytown for Gun Safety has garnered more than 500 signatures in five days.  Only 500 signatures???!!!!  Bloomberg and his millionaire and billionaire pals,along with his minions which help introduce this bullshit on state's ballots and run his anti-gun front groups Everytown and Moms are going to go state by state and get the same shit enacted as they did in Washington state if gun owners don't get off their asses and fight this bullshit.


MOUNT HOLLY — A firearms dealer accused  by a gun safety group of not conducting background checks is mulling a lawsuit for defamation of character.

Bobby Richards is the owner and operator of Crossfire Arms, an online firearms business based in Mount Holly, about 15 miles southeast of Rutland. His business was identified in a recent report by the advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety — which has since retracted some of its claims — as an unlicensed dealer that sells guns to criminals.

That is not the case, according to Richards and his attorney, Rachel Baird.

“In the blatantly false and malicious report distributed to a worldwide audience, Everytown misappropriated Crossfire Arms’ logo and defamed its owner Bobby Richards and Crossfire Arms by characterizing both as vehicles for the unlicensed sale of firearms to felons, fugitives from justice, domestic violence abusers and other unspecified criminals,” reads a statement released by Crossfire Arms.

According to Baird, Richards has a federal firearms license and conducts the background checks required under federal law.

“Bobby and I are exploring his claims that will focus primarily on the torts of slander and defamation, including placing Bobby and Crossfire Arms in a false light,” Baird said.

On its website, Crossfire Arms states, “Crossfire Arms, LLC is a licensed FFL dealer. In accordance with federal and state laws, we cannot ship a firearm directly to an individual or to a location that does not hold an FFL (Federal Firearms License).”

“Firearms will only be shipped to another licensed gun dealer within the United States — this can be your local gun shop, pawn shop, sporting goods store, etc,” the website states. “The receiving gun dealer then handles your background check and the transfer of the firearm to you.”

The report from Everytown for Gun Safety comes as state lawmakers consider a bill to tighten the laws surrounding criminal background checks.
