I have said the same thing over and over and I have written my senators, too. Why not expand the legislation to protect ALL manufacturers and dealers of legal, non-defective products from the criminal misuse of their product?

There is actuall a concepte in law called "intervening supervening criminal act." There is also proximate cause.

(ie you don't sue the maker of a car used in a bank robery)

These gun lawsuits are specific to induce a nusance based settlement. They also depend on the leftist leaning and ignorance of juries.

If you can get this type of tort reform through the senate, it can be later expanded.

its all one step at a time.



((perhaps we should consider professional jurrors?))
