There's a reason why @AGEllison filed a civil suit, not a criminal suit. The burden of proof is significantly lower.
He absolutely cannot prove Fleet Farm violated criminal law. Instead, he's relying on a thinly constructed theory of negligence by FF.
Horton, one of the individuals mentioned int he complaint bought 33 firearms over the course of 4 months from federally licensed dealers. 24 of them from Fleet Farm.
Each one of those sales went through the NICS background check system, and was greenlit by the FBI.
The Feds acknowledge in their cases against the straw buyers (that's right, the state did nothing to prosecute these gun traffickers) that Fleet Farm followed the law.

Horton went to 4 different Fleet Farms, DKMags, and Frontiersman Sports to get his guns.
