Victims and Families of Dylan Roof Cleared to Sue Fed

Quote:
The families of the nine people slaughtered in a South Carolina church in 2015 can sue the US government for negligence, an appeals court has ruled.
The survivors want to hold the government accountable that shooter Dylann Roof was able to buy the gun he used to open fire in an African-American church.

As normal for nearly all mass shooters Dylan Roof had a drug problem. He had been arrested for this but the information was not added to NCIS, allowing him to clear through a weapon purchase for the gun he used to shoot up the church in South Carolina.
The concept that the Federal government can be held accountable for mistakes that contribute to the criminal actions of third parties is an interesting one. I don't think this is going to make it all the way through the courts.
