The five Arizona dealers named in the lawsuit are Sprague’s Sports, SNG Tactical, Ammo AZ, Diamondback Shooting Sports and Loan Prairie D/B/A The Hub.
The lawsuit claims the five dealers named are among the worst gun trafficking offenders in the country and alleges they have turned Arizona into an “epicenter of this unlawful trafficking.”
“The lawsuit is absolutely asinine to accuse me of trafficking guns across the border to the cartel,” Murphy said. “You can't just say that about a gun store on international news and get away with it.” “Sprague's Sports is a family-owned business, and we are a law-abiding federal firearms licensee and comply with all laws and regulations that govern our business,” Hansen said.
“The cartels that cause such bloodshed and terror in Mexico are able to do so only because of each Defendant’s deliberate decisions made in Arizona,” the lawsuit claims.The lawsuit also alleges the dealers contribute to Mexico’s high homicide rate. At least 17,000 homicides in Mexico were linked to trafficked weapons in 2019, according to the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
