SEPTEMBER 12, 2023
NEW HAMPSHIRE
Brady Legal, on behalf of a Boston Police Officer Kurt Stokinger, brought suit against Armslist.com – the largest online marketplace for guns – for its facilitation of the sale of multiple firearms to a gun trafficker. Officer Stokinger was shot by one of these trafficked guns, after a criminal drug dealer bought it from the gun trafficker. The lawsuit alleges that Armslist negligently enabled the sale of firearms to a gun trafficking operation and created an online marketplace that enables dangerous people to buy, sell, and obtain guns that they are otherwise legally prohibited from possessing.
Officer Kurt Stokinger and his wife, Janella, filed suit against the online gun sales website Armslist, Grant Headley, and Sarah Johnson in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Officer Stokinger was shot in January 2016 by Headley, a prohibited purchaser who had bought the gun from Johnson, a gun runner who was illegally selling guns purchased from Armslist.

Just days ago, a 16-year-old shooter killed three young children and a dedicated teacher with his mother's shotgun. No parent should ever have to wonder if their child will come home from school.
