After reading the article, I'd have to say one of the two guilty parties is the one who gave the gun to the person who actually used it in the crime. The Form 4473 asks if the purchaser is buying the gun for himself, and for no other person. So it seems the girlfriend lied on the Form, and the man for whom the gun was bought also committed a crime because he is not supposed to have a gun. How is Cabela's supposed to know what is in the mind of the buyer (future criminality or no future criminality) if the buyer passes the NICS background check? Are firearms dealers also supposed to be mind readers or seers of the future? How far into the futures of buyers do gun dealers need to look to ascertain that Buyer A will be a good sale, but that Buyer B will commit a crime with that gun several decades down the road? This is the idiocy of gun control. No surprise most of it comes from the Evil Left.

So how would Cabelas 'know' that a straw purchase was being made? It looks to me that a pos attorney is going after the entity with the deepest pockets as attorneys are known to do. They can't sue the girlfriend, she has no money so no interest there.

There is no way Cabela's would know that the purchaser was buying for another person. The buyer passed the NICS background check; that qualifies the purchase.

The suit is no doubt brought in an attempt to cut a fat michelle in the assets. An award will cut deeply into Cabela's profit profile, that is unless Cabela's keeps a policy in place for such frivolous lawsuits. They probably have such an insurance policy, but an award would cause their rates to rise. The suit is all about money, nothing else. No man nor organization can know the heart and mind of a person if the person checks-out on the test required to do whatever is being considered. Would it be acceptable if all General Aviation pilots had to pass a background check to ascertain whether or not they will use an airplane to smuggle drugs? Should Cessna be held liable if drugs are smuggled-in aboard a 172 and those drugs then result in the death of a user who overdosed? Should the airport that landed the airplane be held liable, too? These examples are ridiculous but then, suing retailers for what people do with a legal product purchased from that retailer is also ridiculous.

Typical Leftist attacks. Again, nvshooter is right - when was the last lawsuit filed against GM over a drunk driving death?
