Sutherland Springs church massacre victims and their families can sue the store where the suspect bought the gun used in the mass shooting, a Texas judge ruled Monday.

Jason Webster, an attorney for several victims and families pursuing the lawsuit, alleges the store where suspect Devin Kelley bought the AR-style gun conducted an illegal sale.

Won’t go anywhere. Appeals court will overturn that ruling.

We prosecute those who supplied illegal drugs that resulted in death. I don't believe it will be overturned but rather upheld.

One of the dumbest excuses for a lawsuit ever. The 30 round mag was legal in Texas. The gun was bought in Texas and used in Texas. Even if the 30 rounder had been substituted with a Colorado-compliant 15 rounder, he could have bought as many 30 rounders as he wanted while in Texas. Magazines can be purchased with no background check in any state.

So if some idiot texting while driving runs me off the road, can I sue the Apple store that sold the phone?

As far as I know there is no TX or Federal law that says CO residents can't own or possess standard capacity magazines. They just can't purchase or import them in to CO. The state of CO can't dictate what someone can or can't do outside the state borders.

Colorado law doesn't apply in TX. A CO resident can buy anything legal in TX in TX provided they don't bring items illegal in CO back to CO. It's actually relatively common in fact in my experience for people from NY or MA, for example, to own second homes or camps in VT, NH, and ME and have guns kept in those properties that are illegal in their home states.

Do you read what you wrote? They didn't supply anything that was illegal. Unless you want it to be illegal for a pot dispensary in Colorado to sell to a Georgia resident (or other state), who uses the pot in Colorado. Plus, it wasn't the firearm that was illegal, only the magazine, and those don't require any kind of check to purchase.

How was the sale illegal. The article was vague there. It said applicable laws. What laws? Why wasn’t that part expounded on?

I know why, as a gun dealer, that sale was not illegal.

Notice how these stories never mention judge shopping for a liberal Democrat judge.
