A Connecticut judge brushed off an attempt by the state to fine a Florida firearms manufacturer nearly $7.7 million for operating a website. Democratic Connecticut Attorney General William Tong announced he was suing four companies, including Indie Guns, an Orlando, Florida-based firearms manufacturer, over the sale of so-called “ghost guns.” Indie Guns did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the DCNF. The term “ghost guns” is a euphemism that targets firearms made by people for their personal use – often involving the use of partially completed receivers or computer code for 3D printers. A video on the Indie Guns YouTube channel featured a clip from Tong’s 2023 press conference announcing the lawsuit, where Tong complained about the lack of a disclaimer that sales of unfinished firearms receivers to Connecticut residents was illegal.
