Voted NO on prohibiting product misuse lawsuits on gun manufacturers.
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. A YES vote would:
•Prohibit individuals from filing a qualified civil liability action •Exempt lawsuits brought against individuals who knowingly transfer a firearm that will be used to commit a violent or drug-trafficking crime •Exempt lawsuits against actions that result in death, physical injury or property damage due solely to a product defect •Dismiss of all civil liability actions pending on the date of enactment •Prohibit the manufacture, import, sale or delivery of armor piercing ammunition Reference: Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act; Bill S 397 ; vote number 2005-534 on Oct 20, 2005

And I’ll add that by Ron Paul’s logic, if someone gets hurt by an automobile, they could sue the car manufacturer, rather than the drunk, or reckless person, who hit them.
You have no clue, do you? All you cna do, and all of your like minded cult followers can do, is throw out names like Neocon while never defending your candidate. Your guy is a fraud, and you can’t defend him. You are pathetic.
All of you are the same. You want quotes, youtube videos, etc. You expect everyone else to follow lock step in your adoration of Paul. You want proof...a link was posted here saying THAT very thing by a former staffer of Paul’s. Read it.
Thought I should mention that Rick Santorum FOUGHT TO PROTECT our 2nd Amendment rights:
‘“He [Rick Santorum] was the most effective advocate of bringing it [legislation to protect gun companies from frivolous lawsuits] to the floor and getting a vote scheduled. He used his influence to get it to the floor. Without that, we would have lost every American gun company.”
– Wayne LaPierre, CEO – National Rifle Association, October 25, 2006’”
