6:34Now PlayingIn a rare case of a gun store being held liable for the crimes committed with guns that they sold (to someone they should not have sold them to). Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola (Think Tank), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"A month later, on June 9, 2009, Mr. Burton shot two police officers with the Taurus. One lost an eye and was left with brain damage; the other was seriously wounded in the face.

But the case is unusual in another way. The wounded officers and the city of Milwaukee brought a civil lawsuit in state court against the gun store, charging that the clerk knew or should have known that the transaction was illegal. Closing arguments were delivered on Monday in Milwaukee County Circuit Court in what has been a rarity in the last decade — a jury trial on the obligations of gun dealers who make questionable sales.”*
