Gun grabbers don't let facts stand in the way

They never have, and never will. Lies and misinformation are the tools of the anti-gun left.

In her editorial "Gun trade, leaders off the hook again", Marie Cocco states: "With the stroke of President Bush's pen, the gun industry will have greater protection from lawsuits than a homeowner whose loose handrail leads to a trip-and-fall claim."

She (apparently) hopes to decieve the reader into believing the law will prevent product liability lawsuits, which are (as stated above) "An action for death, physical injuries or property damage resulting directly from a defect in design or manufacture of the product..."

In his article/editorial Firearms get unfair exemption, Dan K. Thomasson bemoans the fact that "the House’s decision to join the Senate in excluding the nation’s gun manufacturers from liability in most firearm-related deaths, lawmakers have done something they refused to do for any other industry, including tobacco and asbestos."

How one compares guns with asbestos is beyond me.

But then, I don't possess the twisted mind of an anti-gun zealot.

Just imagine holding up the local 7-11 with a roll of asbestos.

( Hey, it could happen. One guy tried it with a zucchini. )

I confess I didn't bother to read what the Times had to say editorially after the House passed HR 800 on Thursday

Actually the House didn't pass HR 800 on Thursday, they passed S 397.

The anti gun lobby reminds me of Cindy Sheehan. Both are "victims", Sheehan loosing her son, Brady shot on the attempt on Reagan's life. They both can say whatever they want in favor of their cause and against their opponent and the MSM laps it up like a cat at the cream.
Where are the streets "running with blood" we were going to see after the expiration of the assault weapons ban? Remember that one? There was to be lawlessness everywhere. When concealed carry laws were enacted the "shootout at the OK Corral" was the next thing to happen. When Florida passed laws allowing citizens to protect their property, tourists were told they were fair game. Seems to me there are a lot less dead tourists than there were when the rent a carjackings were taking place a few years ago. Yes, I admit the marking system for rental cars has changed, but now the bad guys (the real reason for crime) don't know who may be armed.
The media keep portraying the NRA as this giant monster that is the lap dog for the gun industry. In truth, 4 million gun rights supporters are what drive the NRA. Another testament as to why the MSM will never get it.

This is the roll call for bill that was passed
