All American industry should be protected, not just firearms makers.

I have been saying it for almost two years now. Just take out any reference to firearms and state generally, "It shall be unlawful to sue a dealer, retailer, distributor, or manufacturer for actions resulting from the unlawful use of a lawful product."

What an amazing article. And this paragraph says it all:

"More than 450,000 crimes, including 10,800 murders, were committed with guns in 2002. But Americans also used guns defensively more than 2 million times that year, and more than 90 percent of the time merely brandishing the weapon was sufficient to stop an attack."

I'd love know how that stat compares with the number of attacks successfully defended by would-be victims in nations like Canada or the UK, where citizens aren't allowed to defend themselves so readily.
