Lawsuit thrown out

Two days ago I blogged about a a Congressional bill passed to prevent gunmakers from being sued by silly people looking to make a buck or lay blame on someone other then those truly responsible for the crime.

Today, we have news that is almost as good.

"A federal appeals court Wednesday tossed out New York City's lawsuit claiming the gun industry markets weapons with the knowledge that they could be used illegally.
The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that U.S. law provides the gun industry with broad immunity from lawsuits brought by crime victims and violence-plagued cities."

The lawsuit was actually started by Rudy Giuliani back in 2000...so much for his statements during his presidential campaign that he was a supporter of 2nd Amendment rights. Political lying bullshit... grrrrr. Is it possible to liable yourself? This is the same freakin crap that Clinton and Obama are doing.

In any case, this case sets a fine precedent against dumbassed politicians, stupid people, and idiotic people.
