Those big judgements are usually not paid if the shooter didn't have quite a large liability policy. I hope the family did collect something. Whenever I investigated hunting or boating accidents it was always a priority to pin the blame where it belonged so that an insurance company couldn't wiggle out of paying. A lot of folks don't realize their homeowner liability coverage will cover negligence away from home. As in boating or firearms accidents. If you have assets it pays to have big coverage.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
