Move To Fire: A Family's Tragedy, A Lone Attorney, And A Teenager's Victory Over A Corrupt Gunmaker [Paperback]

A decade after seven-year-old Brandon Maxfield was paralyzed by a defective gun, he and his attorney accomplished what the government, firearms industry, and gun safety groups failed to do - hold the defective guns manufacturer accountable for creating millions of low quality, dangerous guns so connected to tragedy that they were known as junk guns, crime guns, and Saturday Night Specials. When the gunmaker filed bankruptcy to avoid paying his half of a $50,000,000 product liability award to Brandon, then schemed to resurrect the company, the teen launched a campaign to acquire the company himself and stop it from producing thousands more defective guns. Brandons and attorney Richard Ruggieris efforts attracted national support, and derision, as their story became international news. Michael W. Harkins compelling narrative is an illuminating account of the people and events that captivated the worlds leading media outlets in nine countries, and also reveals why millions of defectively designed guns like the one that almost killed Brandon Maxfield are still on the streets.
