A Nevada-based gun manufacturer was sued by Kansas City, MO after the city filed a lawsuit over weapons trafficking charge last month. In the Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition filed Feb. 10, Jimenez Arms listed assets of less than $50,000 and outstanding liabilities that surpass $1 million, KCUR-FM reported. Recovering compensation could prove difficult for the city should it win the lawsuit.
Kansas City – which has one of America’s highest homicide rates – filed the lawsuit against Jimenez in January, alleging that the gun trafficking created a public nuisance in the city. Mayor Quinton Lucas said it’s the first such lawsuit filed against the gun industry in more than 10 years.
