Hopefully this ruling gets appealed. You might recall the lady killed when a multiple deportee who had recently been released from jail killed a woman while fiddling with a gun on a pier in San Francisco. The court ruled that the Feds aren't liable for damages: "In this case, the gun traveled at least some distance from the theft, three and a half days elapsed, the gun changed hands once at the very least, and there is no way to know what else transpired during that time,"
Of course, if the ranger hadn't left a loaded unsecured gun in his SUV, it wouldn't have been used to kill Steinle 3.5 days later, but whatever.
