The gunman in the Texas school shooting reportedly used a high-end AR-style rifle made in Georgia he recently legally purchased.
After founding Daniel Defense in 2001, CEO Marty Daniel got his big break in 2002 when he caught the attention of a U.S. Special Forces and received a $20 million contract for specialized hand rails for M4 rifles used in combat.
On Wednesday, in the wake of the shooting, the company was flooded with social media criticism and restricted some of its accounts. Critics seized on a now-deleted May 16 Twitter post featuring a young boy holding a Daniel Defense firearm.at the annual NRA convention this week in Houston. Steve Reed, the company's vice president of marketing, issued a statement to USA TODAY Wednesday afternoon saying that the company would cooperate with federal, state and local law enforcement.
“As every mass shooting happens, within a company, anyone with a heart hopes it’s not their gun, then when it is, the only way to get around it is to rationalize it,” Busse said Wednesday. “You have to say: It’s nothing we did, we did everything we could legally and this just happens because there are bad people out there. You have to tell yourself that because it’s all you can say.
Still, Charles expects a series of civil suits from the Uvalde shooting, including against Daniel Defense. The 2005 PLCAA law grants wide immunity to manufacturers, dealers, and sellers of firearms or ammunition – as well as trade associations – from civil liability in the wake of “the criminal or unlawful misuse” of a firearm. The law grants some exemptions for suits, such as knowingly transferring a firearm to a felon.
