The Brady suits charged, however, that selling such parts still violated state and federal firearm laws and could conceivably lead to criminals, killers and others getting guns. They also claimed the companies making "ghost guns" refused "to use reasonable safety measures that could have limited the risk of their products falling into the hands of such dangerous individuals."
Specifically, the Brady suits were filed on behalf of a group of plaintiffs who were shot or whose loved ones were shot or killed with a "ghost gun," by a man named Kevin Neal, who was barred from possessing firearms in California during a 2017 shooting spree. Neal's mental health, NBC News reported, was deteriorating and he experienced hallucinations and delusions.
But, Wilson said perhaps the biggest flaw with the Brady cases was that they did not specifically link his company or any of the others mentioned to the actual shooting spree that affected the plaintiffs.
"Right now, it's not clear to me how he built that rifle, if he even bought a kit from any of the defendants at all. This litigation is meant more to be a, you know, activist," Wilson said. "And, its purpose is to say that our industry overall is negligent and violates state and federal law, but none of that's true. Our products are perfectly legal, they're not firearms."

Brady United, one of the most high-profile gun control groups in the United States, filed lawsuits last week against a bevy of "ghost gun" manufacturers, accusing them of negligence, unfair marketing and more saying their products "undermined federal and state firearms laws."
