Sutherland Springs Lawsuit.

Sutherland Springs victims say they've reached $144.5M settlement with DOJ

The "tentative agreement," which is not fully settled yet, would end years of legal battle for more than 80 survivors and victims' relatives.

My take on that is first remembering the tragedy and secondly, all the law on the books aren't going to keep these deranged people from committing these shootings. The government themselves argued he would have gotten the gun by some other means and committed the crime no matter what but the same government keeps pushing new laws which have no effect. Politicians are idiots on every level

Politicians are lower than pond scum.

Many of the politicians we have now are setting new records in that category!

I think these are the key points of the article: "If the settlement is finalized, it is likely to end a yearslong legal battle over a federal judge's ruling that the U.S. government bears some responsibility for the attack because it failed to submit the shooter's criminal history into a database that would have prevented him from purchasing firearms.".

"Lawyers for the government argued in court that even if the Air Force — which did not report Kelley's 2012 arrest and court-martial for domestic violence to the FBI — had followed the law, he would have found another way to acquire a gun to commit the same act, according to court transcripts."

"Victims of the shooting said this year that the Justice Department's arguments had left them frustrated, confused and angry. Many found that the agency's arguments seemed to undermine the background check system, which was a cornerstone of President Joe Biden's gun policy priorities."
