Relatives of Dayton shooting victims sue gun magazine maker
By Andrew Welsh-Huggins - Associated Press
COLUMBUS The high-capacity magazine used by the man who gunned down nine people in Dayton two years ago serves no purpose other than allowing for the killing of as many people as possible, family members of four victims alleged in a lawsuit against the magazine maker.
The complaint filed Sunday in Nevada accuses magazine maker Kyung Chang Industry USA Inc., of deliberately marketing and selling 100-round magazines of the kind used by Dayton mass shooter Connor Betts in the Aug. 4, 2019, attack.
The company made and sold 100-round magazines fully aware they “have no or negligible utility for lawful uses of firearms but pose a tremendous risk to public safety because they are extremely effective and attractive for use in unlawful mass shootings,” the lawsuit said.

Two years after the mass shooting in Dayton that killed his father and eight others, Dion Green still wants action and accountability.
He hasn t seen much of either, he says. Nothing has really changed, said Green, whose father, Derrick Fudge, died in his arms the night of Aug. 4, 2019.
He is unhappy that rather than pass gun control bills, the Ohio General Assembly sent a controversial stand your ground bill to Gov. Mike DeWine, who signed it into law.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation still hasn t closed out its investigation, though agents have given victims family members a briefing of its findings.

A group comprising survivors and victims’ families in the 2019 mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, has filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the large-capacity magazine (LCM) used in the shooting, according to court documents.
The lawsuit filed in Clark County District Court in Nevada is asking for damages as well as an injunction for the defendant Kyung Chang Industry (KCI USA) to stop selling their 100-round LCM.
Calls and e-mails to KCI have not been returned.
“To our knowledge, this is the first lawsuit that’s focused solely on the marketing and manufacture and sale of high-capacity magazines,” Jonathan Lowy, an attorney representing the families, said Monday.
