Kate Steinle’s Family Gets Go Ahead to Sue Federal Government
This is good news because while liberals have focused on protecting criminal trespassing illegal aliens, most have little thought for those like Kate Steinle who were tragically killed by previously deported criminal illegals.
From Breitbart
The parents of Kathryn Steinle have received the go-ahead to sue the federal government over Kathryn’s July 2o15 death; she was killed by an illegal alien holding a gun issued to a federal agent.
U.S. Magistrate Joseph Spero said Steinle’s parents can sue but stressed that the suit may be dismissed if there is no evidence that the illegal alien–Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez–stole the gun from a federal agent.
The gun in question came from the car of a federal agent—a car from which the gun was stolen. On August 28, 2015, Breitbart News previously reported that the .40 caliber round that killed Steinle was fired from a Sig Sauer handgun that had been stolen from a Bureau of Land Management agent. However, it appears the case will turn on whether Lopez-Sanchez stole the gun himself.
On July 7, 2015, Lopez-Sanchez told KGO-TV he shot Steinle, but he said it was an accident. He said he found the gun “lying on the ground wrapped in a T-shirt,” and that it “went off by accident when he picked it up.”
But the San Francisco Chronicle reports that Spero said the Steinle family “can sue the federal government for negligence because a ranger allegedly left the gun used in the shooting in his unlocked car.” He added, “Leaving a gun loaded makes (its) capability for harm readily accessible in the same way as leaving the key in the ignition of a vehicle.”

should sue obamma, he’s the one letting all of them in.
Intent is unclear. Accidental discharges are gun owners’ dirty secret. While it does not absolve the accused from theft or possessing a stolen weapon, he may have accidentally discharged the weapon. I recall the bullet ricocheted from the pavement.
