The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act was signed into law by Pres. Bush on October 26, 2005. The idea here is that gun manufacturers should not be responsible for the actions that individuals take with those firearms. Well, umm, duh. Sounds common sense, huh?
The Anti's have been talking people into suing gun makers and distributors for years with the idea of huge payouts and putting the gun makers out of business. It's a ludicrous idea, but some people have tried to do exactly that... sue the gun makers.
That's like suing Ford because your son drove drunk and smashed into a tree. It's not Ford's fault your son drove drunk and killed himself. It's not Glocks fault someone bought their product and committed a crime with it. It's like a druggie suing Merck because the needle he has been using for weeks infects him with MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staph. Aureus). Or wait... like suing McDonalds for selling you coffee, which you put between your legs, and you get burnt.
How about we use some common sense? Don't touch the chain on the chainsaw while it's moving. Don't stick your fingers in light sockets. Don't sue because you or a loved one is just plain stupid and you are grieving.
