Here we go again. Another lawsuit against a retailer who sold a legal product that was later used in the commission of a crime. As you may know, firearms manufacturers and retailers are shielded from these suits by the PLCAA, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. Now, two survivors of the Sutherland Springs […]

The recent events in Sutherland Springs, Texas and the story of Stephen Willeford’s brave response brought back some painful memories of another horrible event that cost the life of a good guy with a gun.

The mainstream media are focusing their attention on the Air Force’s failure to report the Sutherland Spring spree killer’s criminal history to the FBI. If they had, the thinking goes, Devin Kelley couldn’t legally have purchased any of the four firearms he used in his attack. He wouldn’t have had the weapons he used to […]
