Snip: <Sen. Frist Supports Gun Liability Reform Legislation
posted July 27, 2005

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, M.D. delivered the following floor statement Wednesday regarding gun liability reform legislation. The bill, which is currently pending on the floor of the Senate, is designed to stop frivolous lawsuits against gun makers.

“This Congress is taking a stand against frivolous lawsuits, including class-action, bankruptcy, asbestos, medical liability and now gun liability.

“Earlier this year, Senators Max Baucus and Larry Craig teamed up to introduce the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. This bill is designed to stop frivolous lawsuits against gun makers and place responsibility for the criminal use of guns where it belongs: on the criminals.

“Many people believe that the gun manufacturing is a large and profitable industry. In fact, the gun industry is relatively modest. In 1999, it made less than $200 million in total profits.

2. Get real
The tragedies of mayhem caused by guns are one issue. May they clean that issue up before trying to tie it to jobs.

Bush joked the NRA would have an office in the WH. They do. At least his father had the integrity to see the NRA for what they are and resigned his membership.

Bush and the Bushbots have some phallic worship of armed weapons.
