Navajo Code Talker dies
in New Mexico at 94
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz.
(AP) — A Navajo Code
Talker who used his native
language to outsmart the
Japanese in World War II
has died in New Mexico,
Navajo Nation officials said.
David Patterson Sr. died
Sunday in Rio Rancho at
age 94 from pneumonia
and complications from
subdural hematoma. Few
Navajo Code Talkers are
still alive.
Patterson and hundreds
of other Navajos trained in
radio communications were
prohibited from talking
about their work until it
was declassified in 1968.
Although Patterson couldn’t
say much, one of his sons
said he was proud of being
a Code Talker.
“He attended as many
Code Talker events as he
could,” Pat Patterson said.
“It was only when his health
started to decline that he
didn’t attend as many.”
ATLANTA — One of the
nation’s leading gun-control
groups has filed a lawsuit
against the makers and
sellers of “bump stocks,” the
devices used by the gunman
in what is now the deadliest
mass shooting in modern
U.S. history.
The Brady Center to
Prevent Gun Violence filed
the lawsuit on behalf of
victims of the Oct. 1 shooting
in Las Vegas. The lawsuit
claims that the leading
manufacturer of the devices
misled federal authorities
about their intended purpose
and marketed them to thrill-
seeking gun enthusiasts
who wanted the experience
of firing a fully automatic
weapon that is otherwise
greatly restricted under
federal law.
The lawsuit was filed
Friday in Clark County
District Court in Nevada; it
has three named plaintiffs —
all victims of the shooting —
and seeks class-action status.
It’s not the first time that
the Brady Center has filed a
lawsuit after a high-profile
shooting, seeking to hold
gunmakers and others in the
industry accountable.
Slide Fire Solutions,
the Texas-based company
that is considered the top
manufacturer of “bump
AP Photo/Allen G. Breed, File
In this Oct. 4 photo, shooting instructor Frankie McRae
demonstrates the grip on an AR-15 rifle fitted with a
“bump stock” at his 37 PSR Gun Club in Bunnlevel,
N.C. The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence filed
the lawsuit on Oct. 6 against the makers and sellers of
“bump stocks,” which use the recoil of a semiautomat-
ic rifle to let the finger “bump” the trigger, allowing the
weapon to fire continuously. The devices were used by
Stephen Paddock when he opened fire on a country
music festival in Las Vegas, killing dozens of people.
stocks,” did not return an
email message sent Tuesday
through its Facebook page
seeking comment. Its voice-
mail box was not accepting
messages and the company
has not commented since the
shooting took place.
The devices were origi-
nally intended to help people
with disabilities who have
arm mobility issues fire a
semi-automatic long gun.
It replaces the stock and
pistol grip and allows the
weapon to fire continuously,
mimicking a fully automatic
firearm. Bump stocks were
found among the weapons
used by Stephen Paddock
as he shot from a Las Vegas
casino high-rise Oct. 1,
killing 58 people at a concert
and wounding hundreds.
Avery Gardiner, co-pres-
ident of the Brady Center,
told The Associated Press
that assuring federal regu-
lators reviewing the device
that the bump stock was to
help disabled gun owners
was
disingenuous
and
misleading. “But when they
marketed it to the public,
they said it’s because fully
automatic weapons are fun,”
Gardiner said.
“So what their product
is designed to do is subvert
federal law on machine guns,
and that’s irresponsible,” she
said.
The gun industry has
broad protections from
lawsuits. The Protection of
Lawful Commerce in Arms
Act was enacted in 2005,
protecting gunmakers and
dealers from being held
liable whenever a crime is
committed with a firearm.
However, in this case,
Gardiner said, that liability
wouldn’t apply because Slide
Fire manufactures neither
firearms nor ammunition.
Since the shooting, a
bipartisan mix of members
of Congress have called for a
ban on bump stocks, while the
National Rifle Association
has suggested the Federal
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives
should revisit the devices and
determine if they should be
subject to greater restrictions.
The ATF ruled in 2010 that
the devices were not subject
to restrictions under either
the Gun Control Act or the
National Firearms Act, laws
that restrict access to machine
guns and silencers.

Patterson served in the
Marine Corps from 1943 to
1945. He and other Navajos
followed in the footsteps of
the original 29 who devel-
oped the code and received
the Congressional Silver
Medal in 2001. During the
war, they radioed messages
using Navajo words for
red soil, war chief, braided
hair and hummingbird, for
example.
After his military service,
Patterson became a social
worker with the tribe’s Divi-
sion of Social Services until
retiring in 1987.
He raised his family in
Oklahoma, California and
Shiprock, New Mexico. He
is survived by six children.
Pat Patterson told the
Farmington Daily Times
that his father moved to Rio
Rancho in 2012 to live with
his youngest son. He said
his father was a devoted
Catholic who loved bingo,
baseball and bowling.
