Gun accessory manufacturer sued over "deceptive" magazine lock used by Buffalo grocery store shooter

New York's attorney general sued a Georgia company this week claiming it marketed a deceptive magazine lock that could easily be removed from weapons -- including the AR-15 rifle used by the Buffalo grocery store shooter -- and illegally aid in the possession of assault weapons in the state.

New York law bans the possession of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, the Attorney General's office said in a news release.

The lawsuit alleges the company is "well aware that the MA Lock is simple to remove," and used deceptive advertising on its website, YouTube and other social media platforms.
