    Yes, but 14 Democrats crossed over to our side of the aisle. That's encouraging.

    Bayh (D-IN). He and his dad are pretty well liked in this R state but this is disappointing. He is thinking of going for #1 in '08 too.

    Luckily it was not those types of bills that would have required 2/3 majority. If that were true we could all be in trouble.[B)]

    "A bill to prohibit civil liability actions from being brought or continued against manufacturers, distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition for damages, injunctive or other relief resulting from the misuse of their products by others."

    When one considers the wording of the last sentence above highlighted, it's disgusting and disheartening to think that THIRTY-ONE persons elected to public office by the citizens of this country could be SO STUPID!

    By this logic, shouldn't Monica Lewinski be able to SUE Swisher-Sweets for MISUSE of their product by OTHERS?

    Using that logic I don't understand why innocent victims of automobile accidents aren't suing Ford, GM & Chrysler dozens of times every day.

    Feinsmack didn't vote.

    "It's a blatant special interest bill to protect gunmakers and dealers, even if they make firearms recklessly available to criminals and terrorists," said Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.
    Don't ya just want to whack him on the side of the head a few times with a telephone book?
    Or better yet, a thick legal brief?

    Fcd is correct, while this bill does not take away our guns these zealots will vote for anything that is negative towards firearms, and are absolutely clueless about what it means

    Of course, if there were NO LAWYERS, there would be no lawsuits, right? [:D][8D][:0][V]

    And that would also eliminate many of the brainiacs in Congress, too. [:(!][B)][;)]

    Yes and no. It passed the Senate, but does not mean it goes into law. It now must go to the House of Represenatives. Now is the time to contact your US representative and ask him/her to vote for it. Also time to ask to strip the gun lock ammendment or any other changes if that is a problem for you. I personally don't think removing it is worth the fight. It only requires licensed dealers to provide a lock, does not require you to use it. C&R license holders do not fall under this. Also C&R pistols are exempted from the requirement. Here is the amendment. http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/F?c109:2:./temp/~c109q2geaY:e13939:

    Wrote 2 letters to my Rep (one to DC office and one to local office) and sent email. Will call both offices tomorrow.
