democrats once again are all for accountability. They want to make gun manufacturers liable for the crimes committed in the misuse of weapons:
A group of congressional Democrats announced Tuesday a new push to repeal a long-standing provision of federal law that protects firearms manufacturers from being sued when their products are misused.And here's the key line:The “Equal Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act” was originally introduced by Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff of California in 2017.
On Tuesday, Schiff announced he had re-introduced the bill and rallied in Washington, D.C., along with Democrat Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Reps. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell of Florida, Jason Crow of Colorado and Dwight Evans of Pennsylvania.
Legislators were joined by members of March For Our Lives, Newtown Action Alliance, Everytown For Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
Blumenthal and Schiff framed the issue as part of congressional Democrats’ efforts to pass gun control legislation, they said at the news conference announcing the bill.
After listing major shooting incidents, Schiff said, “These deaths are preventable.”I don't know how you hold a manufacturer accountable for the misuse of anything. More people are killed by fists and hammers than by assault rifles.
With newer crime statistics now out for 2012, Breitbart News can report that more people are killed each year with fists and hammers than are killed with rifles or shotguns.Ever hear of a democrat wanting to hold hammer manufacturers accountable for that? of course not.According to the FBI, there were a total of 625 murders committed with rifles and shotguns in 2012. That breaks down to 322 murders that were rifle related and 303 that were shotgun related.
The total number of deaths committed with fists, hammers, and other blunt objects was 1,196. That breaks down to 518 murders related to hammers and blunt objects and 678 related to fists.
Taken together, the rate of murder by fists and hammers was nearly 100 percent higher than the rate of murder by rifles or shotguns.
The execrable Adam Schiff said this about guns:
“Under state and federal law, we require and expect every other industry, whether car-makers or drug companies, to act with reasonable care for public safety,” he said, adding that the legislation was needed “to correct the error that Congress made in 2005.”Well, as long as we are talking accountability, I strongly believe politicians should be held responsible for their actions. Specifically, I think any politician in favor of illegal alien immigration should be held accountable and responsible for the actions of those illegals.He added that this piece of legislation was designed to “ensure that victims of gun violence can have their day in court.” (emphasis mine)
Here's a sample of illegal alien crimes from April:
On April 2, Miguel Martinez was arrested in Louisiana on 100 counts of possession of pornography of children under the age of 13, one count of production of child pornography, and one count of sexual battery of a child under the age of 13. Martinez, an illegal alien, was deported in 2005 and remains a registered sex offender in California, a sanctuary state.
On April 3, 2019, thirteen-year-old Mariana Pérez Borroto was struck and killed by an illegal alien from Argentina while riding her bicycle to school in Kissimmee, Florida. The suspect, Micaela Coronel, had overstayed a work visa and was driving without a license. ICE has placed a detainer on Coronel so she will be deported regardless of whether there is a conviction.
Illegal alien Laura Rosas killed Emmanuel Ramirez by running him over twice with her vehicle outside of the OK Corral nightclub in Fort Worth, Texas, on April 8, 2019. Rosas has been charged with murder and is being held on a $200,000 bond. ICE has also placed a detainer on her.
Juan Francisco, an illegal alien from Guatemala, killed Debbie Burgess in a hit-and-run in Knoxville, Tennessee, on April 8. Francisco’s criminal history includes a 2017 DUI conviction, a 2004 reckless driving charge, and a 2002 theft charge. Despite a 2002 warrant stating is illegal status, Francisco was never deported. As of this writing, Francisco is still being sought by the authorities.
On April 12, 2019, illegal Honduran alien Carlos Zuniga-Aviles kicked his girlfriend’s four-month-old son to death in Memphis, Tennessee. Zuniga-Aviles reportedly killed the infant, Alexander Lizondro-Chacon, because the boy was fathered by another man. The illegal alien had been deported from the U.S. five times (in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, and December 2016).

Let’s hold politicians and business owners accountable for deaths in “gun free zones”.
Start with REQUIRING THEM to use Obamacare
Okay, let’s hold Jack Daniels responsible for any booze related deaths. Doctors for “medical misadventures”.
Let’s see all the sexual payoffs from elected officials!!
The cause of these deaths is someone pulling the trigger on the gun. The gun is a tool. ALL responsibility is with the human. We have laws that determine quite well whether an action taken with a gun is legal or not.
The problem is people whose “value system”, based on liberal nihilism, allows them to take an innocent life.
The end goal of Da Nang Dick Blue Menthol and other democrats is to take guns away from non-violent citizens and leave them in the hands of violent criminals.
TMI. Let’s not. LOL!
Congress is responsible for every murder, rape and other crime committed by illegals. Arrest and charge all of the dicks.

Plan? You got a PLAN? Other than voting, - only to see your ballot get changed before it gets counted.
Let’s just build an escalator to the moon while we’re at it!
So gas companies and electric companies can be found at fault... and water companies for swimming pool deaths. At some point the health care insurance companies will sue us for living too long, no doubt.
If a piece of wood flies of the back of the truck and kills someone, do you blame the Tree ?
How do you make them feel the pain of a baby who is struggling for it’s first breath? Maybe upon the death of these politicians, God will force them to hold these precious ones as the life they are struggling to have is denied them and they recognize it is their doing.
Ofc Jason Crow the ranger combat veteran turned Democrat traitor bastard. Hates the Constitution. Tried to turn a memorial for the STEM school shooting hero into an anti 2A political rally. What a POS.
