Gander Mountain, which sold a weapon used in a Christmas Eve shooting that left two Rochester, N.Y.-area volunteer firefighters dead, is being sued on behalf of the victims.
The semi-automatic rifle used by William Spengler Jr. on Dec. 24, 2012, to kill two West Webster firefighters and wound two others was purchased at a Gander Mountain store by his neighbor Dawn Nguyen. Spengler couldn't buy the gun because he was a felon.
The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence says it filed a lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of the four victims claiming that St. Paul-based Gander Mountain should have realized Nguyen was making a "straw purchase" for Spengler, who accompanied her into the store.
A spokesman for Gander Mountain said the company hasn't seen the lawsuit.
Nguyen and Spengler's estate also are named in the lawsuit.
On Monday, Nguyen, 25, sentenced to up to four years in prison for lying on forms when she bought the guns. She still faces federal charges for illegally purchasing the firearms and selling them to a known felon. A hearing on motions in that case is scheduled for Wednesday.

....and GM for his red GMC truck that transported him from the gun store to the crime scene. I mean, the car dealership should have known that they were selling an item to facilitate a crime!
Brady will use its deep pockets to bury this guy - and even create a precident.

...and I would ask is it really Mrs Brady or the clucks on the left that got her as the victim figure head to stand out front since her husband cannot. It didn’t hurt that she apparently was left leaning to start with but just for clarity how much is coming from her brain and how much from the leftists running the show.
We got some form of that here in Texas and it cut way down on the frivolous and fishing lawsuits.

Please ,Hammer, don’t hurt ‘em !
> “Wow... good thing he didn’t use a lever gun... that would have become a “High-capacity Repeating Assault Rifle”...”
Yea, the MSN will label them “load on Sunday and shoot all week” guns. Or, “horizontal shot towers.” Or something even better.
Then they’d be using “rayyyyyyyyyyyyyycist” code words...
The Confederate troopers who came up against northern boys armed with Henry repeaters called it “that Damned Yankee Gun you Load one Sunday and all week long!”.
Gee... wouldn’t that then make the MSM .... gasp.... “RAYYYCIST” for using “Confederate Speak”??? Or would it be “White Privilge” speak...? I’m so confused!
After all, that’s THEIR “logic”, right???
