"Or its predecessor," did you get that? Shabby only begins to describe it.Two Milwaukee police officers, wounded with a gun sold by Badger Guns, are expected to sue the West Milwaukee gun dealer Monday, joining two other wounded officers who earlier filed suit against the store.
Bryan Norberg and Graham Kunisch, who both have life-long disabilities as a result of the June 2009 shooting, allege in the latest suit that Badger Guns and its owners were negligent when selling the gun used to shoot them, and that the store has become a public nuisance, according to a copy of the complaint provided to the Journal Sentinel.
Norberg and Kunisch are two of six Milwaukee police officers injured over a 20-month period with guns sold by Badger Guns or its predecessor, Badger Outdoors.
What's your opinion?
Once again, the gun dealer doesn't approve the purchase, the FBI does.
ReplyDeleteSo Mike, you are in favor of removing the Brady NICS check and making the gun shop responsible for all sales instead?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if people can sue car manufacturers and dealers for selling a car to someone who has previous DUIs. Wouldn't they bear responsibility for arming these dangerous criminals if their weapons were used to maim or kill an innocent victim?
ReplyDeleteJim, You must be new around here, We just laugh at car comparisons. Thanks for the attempt though.
ReplyDeleteThe implication, which removes this from the comparison you made, is that Badger Guns regularly turns a blind eye to obvious straw purchases. In addition they probably allow guns to get "lost" and cover that up.
It's because of places like this that I've devised a perfect solution, at least to the straw purchasing part, which does not require the cooperation of the unscrupulous gun dealer.
