Texas family sues U.S. for $50 million over church massacre
Texas family sues U.S. for $50 million over church massacre
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/texas-family-sues-us-for-dollar50-million-over-church-massacre/ar-AAypjU6?li=BBnb7Kz
A couple whose nine relatives were among the 26 people fatally shot in a Texas church massacre in November has sued the U.S. government for $50 million, saying its "institutional failures" played a part in the murders, court filings on Friday showed.
The lawsuit filed this week in federal court in Texas and made public on Friday said the U.S. Air Force acted negligently when it failed to report the criminal record of gunman Devin Kelley to a U.S. database, which could have prevented him from legally purchasing an assault rifle used in the killings.

Hmmm, looks like someone is taking that "enforce the laws already on the books" nostrum seriously.
