Here is how they'll do it. Drive the firearms industry out of business through reckless lawsuits.

Quote: Schiff tells NPR there's no need for the 2005 law called the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act to remain on the books. That law gave gun makers, gun dealers and trade groups immunity from most negligence and product liability lawsuits. "Good gun companies don't need special protection from the law," Schiff says, "Bad companies don't deserve it."

Lawmaker Plans Bill To Lift Immunity For Gun Manufacturers And Dealers : The Two-Way : NPR



NRA-ILA | "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms
On October 26, 2005, President Bush signed S. 397, the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act." Introduced by Sens. Larry Craig (R-ID) and Max Baucus (D-MT), this legislation is a vitally important first step toward ending the anti-gun lobby`s shameless attempts to bankrupt the American firearms industry through reckless lawsuits. Reps. Cliff Stearns (R-FL) and Rick Boucher (D-VA) introduced similar legislation, H.R. 800 in the House of Representatives.

They will wear down people with propaganda. They're lying about polls taken of Americans' opinions. Now they'll start to work on driving these companies out of business.

It's all about control. It's not about "protection of the people."

First the Patriot Act and now this firearms battle. Never waste a crisis. Both parties are doing it.
Wake up America!

best,
toodie

+1. I lot of shady Government officials could be out of business if America would shave the wool from their eyes and realize there is essentially no difference between the 2 parties. The elitist can be blatant about their plans to control everybody and everything, because they know that most Americans are too busy watching 16 and pregnant and keeping up with the Kardashians, with their cell phone glued to their face.

What does that have to do with a company selling a legal product?

Nothing of course. This legislation was passed to prevent lawyers from using the judicial system like a slot machine as they have done with so many other industries. This is a legally manufactured product that is legally sold, that's the end of it.

Removing the monetary system would be a start but that's as unrealistic as removing guns. Violence will continue regardless and among governments against their people, it will increase.

Wouldn't that be a little like stuffing your face full of McDonald's every day for a year, then suing because you got fat?

Typical entitlement, it's always someone else's fault, liberal way of life.

Watch it, you'll never receive reps in this forum with moderate tongue like that. You know those reps, they will fly you across the country.
