The lawsuit identified Jersey Village Florist LLC as the owner and operator of Texas Guns and Roses, which it said sells firearms and ammunition, scopes, body armor and metal safes, among other items. Its members are Axl Rose, Saul 'Slash' Hudson and Michael 'Duff' McKagan.
Guns N' Roses, formed in 1984, is one of the most successful bands of all time and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. Guns N' Roses 'quite reasonably does not want to be associated with Defendant, a firearms and weapons retailer,' the lawsuit, filed Thursday, says.Īdditionally, the band claimed, the gun dealer 'espouses political views related to the regulation and control of firearms and weapons on the Website that may be polarizing to many US consumers.' In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles, attorneys for the band said a corporation that runs the online shop was conning consumers into believing the business had something to do with the rock band.
