The shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas may have drifted out of the limelight, but not for those involved. That’s understandable, though. After all, they were there. They have to deal with that trauma for the rest of their lives. They’re not forgetting anything. However, a new lawsuit is likely to push the shooting back into the news once again. It seems that someone has decided to sue the online ammo retailer that allegedly sold to the shooter.
An online ammunition retailer has now been named in a civil lawsuit filed over the May 2018 shooting rampage at Santa Fe High School. Attorneys representing those who were killed or injured during the shooting claim [killer’s name redacted] started buying ammunition online two weeks after the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida. [The shooter] was 17 at the time of the shooting and federal law prohibited him from buying ammunition. According to the Gun Control Act, rifle and shotgun ammunition cannot be sold to anyone under 18 and other types of ammunition cannot be sold to anyone under 21.
The lawsuit claims Luckygunner.com sold [him] handgun and shotgun rounds without verifying his age. “The 17-year old did not need to produce any identification or provide proof of age to complete the purchase, and his order was approved in two minutes,” the lawsuit reads. Neither Texas nor federal law expressly requires retailers to check IDs prior to ammunition sales. “Instead of designing a website that allowed them to verify the purchase age for every customer, the Luckygunner Defendants made a decision not to ask for proof of age unless the shipment was destined for a small handful of states where certain proof is expressly required by state law”.
