San Diego County and national firearm safety group Giffords have partnered to sue a company that manufactures devices and software allowing people to build...
The new suit is the first action San Diego County has taken after the Board of Supervisors agreed in 2022 to sue gun makers. The county is partnering with Giffords Law Center.
The lawsuit alleges Defense Distributed, based in Austin, Texas, is barred from selling its "Ghost Gunner" computer numerical control milling machine locally, yet seeks to circumvent state laws by rebranding and selling the device as the "Coast Runner."
The do-it-yourself firearm-making device called the ‘Ghost Gunner’ is essentially a 3D printer, and the lawsuit claims they're illegal to sell in California.
