Indiana bill blocks suits against crime gun seller

Another breath of fresh air here. Our legislature is now in the process of putting through a bill which will prevent nuisance lawsuits against any seller of a gun later used in a crime who didn't know he was selling the gun for some criminal purpose.
If the bill passes, and it may, only a seller who KNOWINGLY sells a gun for an illegal purpose could be held responsible for a subsequent crime with that gun. Darn logical if you ask me.
A very wise and enlightened bill, which goes against every tortured rationalization the gun controllers try to sell the public about "seller liability." I'm proud to be in the state where this bill has been brought up -- and it wasn't even my doing... [:D]

How many years have they been 'putzing' with this at the Fed. level?
