Fuzzy bears!
and is the proper authority to make that claim the owner of private business or the police?It wasn't the police though was it? The police aren't selling weapons. If the police were selling guns, their duty of care would be higher. Mother knew that daughter was going to the gun store for the purpose of getting a gun to kill someone. Mother called the gunstore and gave them very specific information to not make that sale.
This is no different than someone who said they were going to blow up a plane and bought dynamite.
Nope......if the police will not act ons something, the gun store does not become the police.....
Again...why didn't the mother call the police instead of the gun store? If she knew the daughter was going to shoot someone, why didn't she call the police instead? The woman didn't tell the gun store she was going to murder someone...did she? Again..why didn't she tell the police? And why didn't they stop her from buying the gun?
It seems from the articles that the parents were concerned the daughter would kill herself, not someone else.
I'm just pointing out that, according to the article, the parents may have been concerned the daughter would shoot herself, not someone else.
doesn't change the fact that the gun owner did nothing wrong
According to the available information, the store did nothing criminal. Whether or not it did anything wrong, legally or morally, is a bit less certain. There could be more information not contained in the articles that would make things seem different, such as what the manager meant when he said that Weathers was acting "nervous" when she bought the gun. It's certainly quite possible that the store did nothing wrong, though.
