Negligent entrustment is an exception to federal immunity for sellers. If this case gets to a jury, that will be a significant crack in immunity.
Would you be ok from a privacy standpoint if this information was available to gun store owners either masked (via providing a decisioning system) or unmasked (allowing the store themselves to make the call)?
What the seller knew or should have known is the question. Much depends on the witness who saw the transaction.
There's a lot of info that's already supposed to be available thru the NICS background check system such as mental health (among many other things). That's why I framed the the question with the statement that he underwent the background check. The shop did nothing illegal and used the tools to verify that this individual wasn't prohibited from purchasing a firearm. This is probably one of the few times I agree with Giffords Law Center.
Sooo, no summary judgment.
He had to be suffering from CTE.
They were interviewed in the early days after the event. Not the typical parents of a mass shooter - not the typical mass shooter.
I had one in an unorganized 8th grade pre-school-bell game. Big pick - hit the floor - head snapped back - woke up surrounded by gawky girls
Called it getting your bell rung! I had a horrible one in 8th grade too. Dumbest shit ever. Our high school team had a conflict so we had to practice at a grade school down the street. No idea what I was doing but ran full speed into a tree. Literally a tree. Was bad
And not an outcast either, not someone who was bullied, not that it's a justifiable excuse, but whether it's mass shootings or street violence, there is always a tipping point for that person.
Well...I'd be willing to bet I hold a very weird record, though I never coached Sturgeon. I've coached two players (four years each) who had to wear helmets while playing in college, John Peckinpaugh (IPFW) and Kendall Griffin (Wright State). Both had concussions in high school. Both were physical players and suffered multiple concussions in college.
Not sure about Griffin, but Pekinpaugh wore Everlast headgear like you see boxers wear. I remember watching him play at IPFW.
Like this?
Peck wore a sparring head gear. KG wore one of those things football players put over their helmet. KG didn't much the season he had to wear it, which was his senior year.
Do they know that for sure? I'm assuming he was tested, and I really have had no desire to ask Todd questions. I don't know him like that, strictly basketball -- even though there were a lot of texts dealing with his injury, about their tough games and kids in the area.
I’ve seen enough. All of the board’s liberals have CTE.
