US EditionGun Accessory Company to Pay $1.75 Million to Buffalo Supermarket Shooting Victims
Mean Arms will pay $1.75 million to victims and survivors of the 2022 Buffalo shooting and stop selling the magazine-lock device in New York, linked to gunman’s use of high-capacity magazines.
- On Feb. 11, 2026, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that MEAN Arms LLC will pay $1.75 million to survivors and victims' families and stop selling the MA Lock in New York.
- Evidence including online videos showed the MA Lock could be easily removed, allowing the shooter to add high-capacity magazines during the May 14, 2022 attack.
- More than two dozen workers and shoppers witnessed the May 14, 2022 shooting at Tops supermarket in East Buffalo, where victims ranged in age from 32 to 86 and included a guard, a man shopping for a birthday cake, and a grandmother of nine.
- Under the settlement, MEAN Arms must remove legality claims, add packaging language banning sales in New York, notify sellers, and private lawyers said Vintage Firearms LLC will permanently close with an undisclosed payout from Gendron's parents.
- Advocates and community leaders said the settlement sends a message to the gun industry, with Everhart stating, `This is a victory today, but 5/14, for the families, for the victims, it still continues`.
