“We will not compromise our moral or ethical principles.”
— Freedom Group, makers of Bushmaster Rifles

In 2004, Bushmaster settled a lawsuit brought by families of the Beltway victims, which alleged that the company failed to take precautions to ensure that its guns did not fall into the hands of criminals.
The company settled the suit for $500,000, but said the settlement was not an admission of culpability.
