this was on my home page, maybe you already know about it..??
It's not (just) the grieving families. The lawyers and anti-gun groups ascend on them like locusts.Gun stores are NOT responsible for mass shootings!!!!!!!!! Responsibility belongs to the jerk off that pulls the trigger! What a waste of time and shame on those people trying to make a buck off a private business.
How is the shop or any place of purchase responsible when a background check is required for the citizen to buyThe sole responsibility lands on the shop who transfered the firearm and the NCIS data base. Let us also not forget it also falls on the law enforcement side to update criminal records in a timely manner. Another shooting in Illinois happened because the shooter was able to buy a firearm only because another states law enforcement failed to upload the name and charges to the data base which would have denied him the purchase.
Here in Illinois we've had a 3 day wait for a long time. In the last two years it has ran longer than 3 days to get the approval or denial. In the past the dealer could go ahead and transfer the firearm after the 3 day wait even if the background check had not came back yet.
My last two purchases one came back before I left the store, the other took 7 days to come back approved. So a one day difference and a store 50 miles away had a multi day difference in my state of Illinois.
that's what it boils down to, anything with a name attached, gets named in a lawsuit. the lawyers prey on the families, so that they too can get in on the monies.....It's not (just) the grieving families. The lawyers and anti-gun groups ascend on them like locusts.
my state (RI) has a mandatory 8 day waiting period. during the covid/pandemic/BLM/ANTIFA rioting crisis, my governor, under "protest" from all the cities police chiefs, made that waiting period "up to" 30 days, as they were swamped with background checks, as way too many people were running to gun stores to buy whatever they could.The sole responsibility lands on the shop who transfered the firearm and the NCIS data base.

Here in the people's republic, we are not afforded that courtesy. We wait just like everyone else, CCW or notmy state (RI) has a mandatory 8 day waiting period. during the covid/pandemic/BLM/ANTIFA rioting crisis, my governor, under "protest" from all the cities police chiefs, made that waiting period "up to" 30 days, as they were swamped with background checks, as way too many people were running to gun stores to buy whatever they could.
of course, people like me, with a ccw, can buy and walk out with in minutes.

Ultimately they are not if a valid background check was performed and clearance was awarded. My point was Buds followed the law by sending it to an FFL registered dealer.How is the shop or any place of purchase responsible when a background check is required for the citizen to buy
