In this case, that’s a damn shame.

Yes, the VA, Army, Navy, or Air Force can be sued in certain circumstances. If you or a family member are the victim of medical negligence or suffered serious personal injuries as a result of the negligence of a federal employee, you may be able to bring a claim against a federal agency, like the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, or the Department of the Air Force. If the negligent health care provider in your case committed malpractice at a domestic military base or a VA hospital, the case may be governed by the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). The FTCA is a federal law that allows plaintiffs injured by the negligent acts of federal employees to file claims against the United States for damages.

There are no serious impediments to anyone buying a weapon without going through a background check.

There are no serious impediments to white guys wishing to purchase weapons. Some states do a better job of closing loopholes, like for example New York, but other states don't. So if you do a little research you can work around the laws in your area, and if you look right, there won't be any problems.

record. I was right for a change.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the NRA to kneecap all governmental entities with responsibility for it.

It's terrible and it should never have happened, but I hope this forces every branch of the Armed Services to double check their databases asap. It's better that they admit this egregious error than try to cover it up.

I still can't believe Anthony Weiner got more jail time than this thug, and I have no love lost for Anthony Weiner.

For the love of Pete we can't even keep known fucking monsters from buying guns.

Is it any wonder we are were we are with gun violence?

Was it a mistake type error, or one of those errors that just slip by depending on who's doing paperwork? How many more errors are out there?

The military is all about doing favors for each other. Doubt this was an honest mistake.

Why would anyone on the legal side do favors for a just convicted cargo handler who was headed for jail followed by a BCD?

BTW, you CAN sue the military. It's not easy, but it can be done.

I had a friend in college who was an Army brat. This was back in the 70s. Her mother had a lump in her neck that was biopsied and came back positive for cancer. They said that it was likely terminal but that they could buy her some time by doing a "radical neck" surgery and radiation. They removed all the lymph nodes in the area as well as some muscle tissue. She ended up looking something like this.



After the surgery, she went in to schedule radiation. They said there had been a mistake and she had never had cancer in the first place.

She was able to find a lawyer to represent her and sue for malpractice, disfigurement, and even emotional distress for my friend and her sisters. The case was actually "My Friend's Mom" and vs. The United States of America". They did get a settlement. My friend used hers to pay for college.

The challenge is finding an attorney who is willing to take on the USA.
