Florida became the 26th state to restrict lawsuits against gun makers Tuesday when Gov. Jeb Bush signed into law a measure preventing local governments from suing manufacturers for gun-related injuries and deaths.

Flanked by state lawmakers and a past president of the National Rifle Association, Bush said the law would protect companies that manufacture legal products from taxpayer-financed lawsuits.

What? We can't blame guns anymore? I don't get it. < /sarcasm >

This is very old news. The article refers to Gov. Jeb Bush signing the law on "Tuesday" - that was Tuesday, May 1, 2001. This article was actually published May 2, 2001, not on December 14 as the post suggests.
