City of Rochester to sue gun manufacturers over local violence

December 21, 2022

Rochester Mayor Malik Evans announced a lawsuit in New York State Court against major firearm manufacturers, importers, and distributors Tuesday, “for their role in fueling the gun violence crisis” locally.

The mayor listed Beretta, Smith & Wesson, Glock, Remington, Bushmaster, and “ghost gun” companies like Polymer 80 and Arm or Ally as some of the defendants.

“Violence prevention requires a multitude of strategies and a significant amount of collaboration,” Evans said. “This is just the latest tactic I will dedicate to eradicating gun violence in Rochester.”
