Gubs for the day

Jessica Parks has an article in The Philadelpia Inquirer about the Brady Campaign:

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the widow of a slain Plymouth Township police officer filed a lawsuit against the West Norriton, Pennsylvania gun store that sold guns to a straw purchaser.
The suit alleges gross negligence by In Site Firearms for selling six guns in a three-month period to a man they should have identified as a straw purchaser. One of those guns was used to kill Officer Brad Fox in September of 2012.
According to the suit, In Site ignored several red flags about Michael Henry, including that he was a drug addict who had already purchased several of the same type of gun. Henry always paid in cash and transferred the guns to Andrew Thomas, a convicted felon barred from having firearms, in the gun store's parking lot, according to the suit.
Luke Kelly, owner of In Site Firearms and a retired West Norriton police officer, could not be reached for comment.
Thomas was fleeing from a traffic accident when he fatally shot Fox, and then himself. Henry pleaded guilty to the straw purchases and is serving a minimum twenty-year sentence.
The lawsuit is part of the Brady Center's campaign against "bad apple" gun dealers. The center says "sixty percent of crime guns can be traced to one percent of gun dealers."
Henry bought a total of nine guns for Thomas, the lawsuit says, eight of which have yet to be found.
Lynsay Fox, the officer's widow, said that those eight remaining guns motivated her to file the suit. "I can't bear to think about what those guns are being used for and the other families that may be suffering like mine," she said.
