S. 397 ON SENATE FLOOR!--Final Vote Expected This Week!
This afternoon, the U.S. Senate invoked cloture on the motion to proceed to S. 397, "The Protection of Lawful Commerce In Arms Act." S. 397 will now be debated on the Senate floor over the next few days.
Now is your final chance to contact your U.S. Senators and urge them to pass S. 397 without any anti-gun amendments!
Some of the possible anti-gun amendments expected to be offered to S. 397 include:
Please help us finish the job in the U.S. Senate by contacting your U.S. Senators IMMEDIATELY and urging them to support S. 397 without any anti-gun amendments. Be sure to tell your Senators that you consider any votes for any anti-gun amendments as a vote against S. 397 itself.
(For more complete information on S. 397, and to contact your U.S. Senators, please go to http://www.nranews.org/UM/T.asp?A2.24.1788.9.15148. You may also call your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121. Please IMMEDIATELY share this information with everyone you know who supports the Second Amendment!)
BUSH WHITE HOUSE ONCE AGAIN SUPPORTS S. 397
Below is the Bush Administration's "Statement of Administration Policy" in support of S. 397 released today:
"The Administration strongly supports Senate passage of S. 397. The Administration urges the Senate to pass a clean bill, in order to ensure enactment of the legislation this year. Any amendment that would delay enactment of the bill beyond this year is unacceptable. The manufacturer or seller of a legal, non-defective product should not be held liable for the criminal or unlawful misuse of that product by others.
"The possibility of imposing liability on an entire industry for harm that is solely caused by others is an abuse of the legal system, erodes public confidence in our Nation's laws, threatens the diminution of a basic constitutional right and civil liberty, sets a poor precedent for other lawful industries, will cause a loss of jobs, and burdens interstate and foreign commerce. S. 397 would help curb frivolous litigation against a lawful American industry and the thousands of workers it employs and would help prevent abuse of the legal system. The bill would also safeguard our national security by preventing frivolous lawsuits against an industry that plays an important role in fulfilling our military's procurement needs. At the same time, the legislation would carefully preserve the right of individuals to have their day in court with civil liability actions. These civil actions are enumerated in the bill and respect the traditional role of the States in the Nation's Federal system with regard to such actions."
I've contacted my Congressional reps. Neither Ted "Survival Swim" Kennedy nor John "I slandered Vietnam Vets" Kerry have replied. My Congressman, Richard Neal (Doofuss -- 2nd MCD), sent back a letter thanking me for my interest in immigration reform.
She later continued: "But we've stopped the democratic process before, and we feel confident that we can stop it again."
As we've found out after the cigarette lawsuits, the scum sucking bottom feeding lawyers are now going after the food industry. So whose to stop someone from suing Ford, Chevy, Toyota, etc or "the car industry" in general for a car used in a robbery, a DUI and such.
After all 100% of drive by shootings have a car involved along with a gun. Heck, one could argue that the availability of a car causes MORE drive by shootings than just having an illegal weapon as the car gives the creep the means to carry out the crime. No car - maybe no shooting.
(How about 'dat' "mare" Daley - sue GM for your crime problem)
it apprears democrats have given up trying to take our guns... for now.
they are also backpeddling on abortion...
we have em on the run boys !
I concur, it's good news.
I just thought the headline was a little 'off'.
ONLY because their (Liberals) ranks are declining everytime they attempt to take our guns from us! Continue to vote them (Liberal Democrats) out of office, and we will not have to worry any longer about the issue!

HOOAH!

As soon as S. 397 passes we need to push:
H.R. 2088, Veterans Heritage Firearms Act.
H.R. 1703, Second Amendment Restoration Act.
H.R. 1603, Fairness in Firearms Testing Act.
Text and discussion of each is available in the forums at http://at www.nfaoa.org
