MILWAUKEE (AP) — The trial over a civil lawsuit brought by a pair of seriously wounded police officers against a Wisconsin gun shop that they say has sold hundreds of weapons used in crimes will end in the coming days. The potentially precedent-setting case hinges on whether the gun shop owners should be financially responsible for a crime committed with a weapon purchased at their store. The issue recently surfaced in the presidential campaigns after Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton said she would push for a repeal of a George W. Bush-era gun law that Badger Guns’ defense lawyers say shields their client from liability claims. Plaintiffs say the shop acted negligently by selling a firearm to a straw buyer in a transaction they should have known was illegal.
