PHILADELPHIA, Penn — The city of Philadelphia has teamed up with the anti-gun group Giffords to sue JSD Supply and Polymer80, claiming that the companies are violating nuisance laws.
The lawsuit comes less than a week after a federal judge in Texas vacated the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) rule banning the sale of unfinished frames, which the city of Philadelphia calls “ghost guns.” The judge’s decision was made after JSD Supply filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit challenging the final rule. The company has not sold any 80% firearms kit since the regulation was enacted on August 24, 2022.
According to Philadelphia officials, Giffords, the anti-gun group started by Gabby Giffords, determined the target of the lawsuit and worked closely with the city to file. This effort highlights a disturbing trend of radical anti-gun groups using taxpayer money to sue legitimate American businesses in hopes of financially ruining the companies.
The lawsuit claims that the companies sold firearms that lacked serial numbers and did not run background checks on buyers. Before August 24, 2022, unfinished frames and receivers could be sold without serial numbers and were not considered firearms. JSD Supply discontinued selling kits after the ATF’s rule effective date. However, the Pennsylvania-based business would sue, and a federal judge agreed with them, completely knocking down the ATF’s rule-making that changed the definition of a firearm.
