New Hampshire Gov. Craig Benson signed into law a bill that would protect gun makers, distributors, and retailers from lawsuits when their products are used in a crime, the Associated Press reported Aug. 16.

In addition, the governor signed a bill that would cancel local ordinances that restrict gun possession in public buildings.

"I think both of these just make good common sense," Benson said.

The Million Mom March is criticizing Benson for signing the measures into law. "These bills say too bad, so sad, pound sand if someone is a victim of gun violence," said Laurel Redden, state coordinator of the anti-gun lobbying group.

About 900 residents are employed by gun manufacturers in the state.

"If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege." - Arkansas Supreme Court, 1878<P>
