Federal prosecutors have decided to bring criminal charges against the friend and former neighbor of one of the San Bernardino shooters.
Several federal law enforcement officials tell NBC News that the first criminal charges to stem from the massacre will be brought against Enrique Marquez, a long-time friend and former neighbor of gunman Syed Rizwan Farook. The charges could be filed as early as Thursday.

Anyone involved in purchase of guns used should be prosecuted... I would go step further - those who made this kind of transactions possible should be held accountable as well... including NRA.

The NRA does not pass or enforce laws.

If Marquez legally purchased the firearms years ago and then gave them to Farook then he is the one responsible.

Not sure if playing dumb and mentally sick will help him with this one... I hope not.

They could and did. But at the time of the purchase of the ARs they thought that they would not pass the background check anymore. weirdly they actually would have passed the background check. They had done nothing that would have caused the BGC to flag on them.

"There's blood in the street and someone has to go down!"
Could these two have legally purchased guns on their own?
If not, this Marquez guy has blood on HIS hands too

Sounds like you will almost say NRA does not have any effects on the law?!
They do not directly make laws, but their puppets, our USA government representatives are making laws that made it impossible to track if someone who previously purchased asult grade weapon went unstable and should not have it anymore.
I still think people responsible for production of guns used should be held responsible. Look what happened with airbags that killed people - how is different with guns that killed people?? Hold them responsible, fine them and use money to prevent further attacks...

Gun-lovers claim that guns are there to keep us safer, which is the same what airbag claimed, and when innocent died, why hold only one responsible and fine them - just use the same logic and be fair to both industries...

Don't worry, any legislation banning those weapons will make it clear just for you...
Interesting, none of you responding don't like to even knowledge similarities about products that you claim should keep us safer...
Seems that 'safer' rhetoric works only when it helps your cause, doesn't it??

If I am in a car accident that killed someone, should the Holden car dealer be held to account for making the purchase of the car possible to me?

Car industry IS HELD accountable if reason for death was malfunction of car that lead to death, isn't it???
Good comparison, thank you, why the same rule does not apply to gun industry??
