On October 18, 2018 Brady, Crowe & Mulvey, LLP, and Blank Rome LLP filed suit against Armslist, alleging that the website facilitates illegal acts by allowing dangerous people to illegally obtain guns and traffick them to criminals. The suit also alleges that Armslist created its website without safeguards to prevent this illegal activity, intentionally creating a dangerous online marketplace in order to facilitate illegal firearm transactions.

"Here, The Stokingers' claims concern both the same design features and the same arguments raised in Daniel. the court concludes that Armslist is not an information content provider, and that the Stokingers' claims are based on complaints about posted content created or developed by a third-party. Armslist is thus entitled to immunity under the CDA, and the Stokingers claims must be dismissed.

ORDER

For the forgoing reasons, it is hereby ORDERED that the Defendant Armslist LLC's motion to dismiss is ALLOWED

dated at Lowell Massachusetts, this 13th day of March, 2020.

Link to Daniel vs Armslist LLC if so inclined. SCOTUS declined to take on this case.
Justia Opinion Summary
The Wisconsin Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court's dismissal of Plaintiff's complaint against Armslist, LLC, holding that because all of Plaintiff's claims for relief required Armslist to be treated as the publisher or speaker of information posted by third parties on Armslist's firearm advertising website, armslist.com, the circuit court properly dismissed Plaintiff's complaint.
