Sorry, what I meant to say in paragraph 3 of my post #6 is that the bill President Bush signed gave immunity from lawsuits to gun manufacturers/dealers in STATE courts. Obviously Congress has the authority to grant immunity from lawsuits to gun manufacturers/dealers in FEDERAL courts, but they do not have the right to shove it down the throats of STATE courts, and that is precisely what the legislation in question did. I would be interested in hearing Rick Perry’s position on that, because it would tell me quite a bit about whether he sticks to his guns when it comes to defending the Tenth Amendment from all attacks.
By the way, the bill (now law) to which I am referring was entitled the “Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.”
Some insight to where Perry stands on guns

I don’t get your point...defending the second amendment is every bit as important as defending the tenth amendment.
