Guns N’ Roses doesn’t want to be associated with a gun shop called Texas Guns and Roses.
The US rock band Guns N’ Roses wants to go to court over a name dispute over an online gun shop. The band did not want to be associated with the provider Texas Guns and Roses, the lawsuit said Thursday in Los Angeles. However, consumers are led to believe that the online shop has something to do with the band.
The gun shop operator is using the Guns N’ Roses name without “authorization, license or consent,” the band’s attorneys said. In addition, he represents “political views on the website regarding the regulation and control of firearms and weapons that could be polarizing for many US consumers”.
The rock band’s lawyers want to ensure that the arms dealer no longer operates his business under the previous name, and they are also demanding damages. The online shop initially left an inquiry from the AFP news agency unanswered. (AFP)
