Joe Biden is the best that the Dems can field. Say no more...

I'm happy as long as the DNC finest keep running their mouths.

Apple’s policies state that it will share iCloud data with law enforcement agencies if there’s a valid warrant.

The issue is going to be whether they help with unlocking the phone to get data from there.

In the past I think I remember that Apple said they could not unlock customers' iPhones if they are encrypted and use a passcode. Who knows what their real capabilities are and whether or not they provide any assistance either openly or covertly when asked.

I wondered if they tried to use the touch ID with the dead creeps's fingers when it was first found.

Ruh roh, this doesn't look good for Academy.

A family of three of the victims of the Sutherland Springs shooting has filed a lawsuit against the gun store that sold the shooter the weapon used in the attack – and it looks like they have legitimate grounds.

According to mySanAntonio.com, the Ward and Lookingbill family are seeking $25 million in damages after the Academy Sports & Outdoors in San Antonio, Texas, allegedly failed to follow the law by selling the gunman a Ruger model AR-566 rifle in 2016. That same rifle would be used a year later on November 5th in the massacre of 26 parishioners at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs.

========================>SNIP<====================================

So how could they have broken the law by selling him the gun? Well, the shooter listed his Colorado Springs address on a firearm record form, and the gun was picked up in Texas. Even though Colorado and Texas have a reciprocity agreement, Texas prohibits the sale of firearms to non-residents. For this reason, the families claim the purchase should have been transferred to the shooter’s Colorado home.

“The Ruger should have never been placed in Kelley’s hands in Texas,” the lawsuit reads.

Me thinks it doesn't bode well for the Academy employee who approved the 4473 either...

I don’t see this suit doing anything but putting money onto the lawyers pockets. I believe it is legal for a Texas FFL to sell a long gun to a non resident if there are no laws in the purchasers home state forbidding it. I do not know Colorado law but cannot see Academy doing something that is illegal. From everything that I have looked online i cannot find anywhere saying that a Colorado resident cannot purchase and take possession of a long gun in another state.

Texas prohibits the sale of firearms to non-residents.

Please cite the law that prohibits a Texas based FFL from selling a rifle to a US citizen who isn't a Texas resident.

I was under the impression/recollection that Longuns could be purchased by people from out of state, in Texas, it was pistols I was thinking that has that restriction. Now I'm not sure where I picked that up exactly, it's rattling around in my brain from somewhere, based on a conversation I had at some point - it could have been 'Bubba' at the gun store for all I remember so I may be wrong.

I thought the restriction did not apply to long guns. Also, he was in the military. Can anyone cite the specific law?

[Jusme]

IANAL but, in my limited experience, as long as the long gun is legal in the purchaser's state, the sale can be made. The restriction is only on handguns, or long guns prohibited in the state of residence.
This lawsuit has no basis, as far as I can tell. I do know that Colorado banned high capacity mags, for a while, but not the guns capable of using them.
Not to mention the fact, that the sale took place more than a year before the incident. If they want to sue someone, they need to go after the Air Force, for failing to report the shooter's disqualifying background. I am not a big supporter of Academy, but they were only following the law. JMHO
