Any judge with half a brain should toss this out but if they find the right (for them) one.......

Todd Kohlhepp pleaded guilty in 2017 to murdering seven people in South Carolina between 2003 and 2016. Kohlhepp pleaded guilty to kidnapping in 1987 as a juvie and was registered as a sex offender who could not purchase firearms legally.

Dustan Lawson pleaded guilty to purchasing 29 guns and multiple AAC suppressors on behalf of Kohlhepp in 2018. One of those firearms, a .40 S&W caliber GLOCK, was used by Kohlhepp to kill Johnny Joe Coxie in 2015.

Now Coxie’s mother has filed suit against Academy Sports and Outdoors, saying the store should never have sold the guns to Kohlhepp, who was a “straw purchaser.”

Reading this as it was written, it says that Kohlhepp killed Johnny Coxe three years before Lawson bought the murder weapon for him. I don't think that's what the author intended, but that's what it says.

So, mind reader and has a time machine.   Does George Noory know about this? [popcorn] [tinfoil]

Well, it does say on his DL that he is a straw purchaser right?  And of course, he always answered that question on the 4473 form that he was not the intended recipient of the firearm.
