Tennessee moves to shield gun firms after school shooting

[jgo]

In the wake of a deadly school shooting last month, Republican lawmakers in Tennessee awarded final passage Tuesday to a proposal that would further protect gun and ammunition dealers, manufacturers and sellers against lawsuits.

The Senate’s 19-9 vote sends the bill to Republican Gov. Bill Lee, despite pushback from Democratic lawmakers saying their GOP counterparts are trying to shield gun companies just weeks after the Nashville school shooting that killed six people, including three 9-year-olds.

1. Of course the gun people will be protected instead of schoolchildren.

The GOP hates children and loves guns.

[BOSSHOG]

8. Slaughtering children with weapons of bodily destruction

Is NECESSARY FOR THE SECURITY OF A FREE STATE. It’s right there in the constitution. Any god fearing “patriot” with the second half of the second amendment tattooed on their arm will explain it to you. Gun manufacturers love stupid people as much as trump does. And like trump they have no heart, no soul, no integrity. Stupid, hateful garbage.

17. Yes it was our founding fathers dearest wish to see American schoolchildren slaughtered.

They wanted it so much they put it right in the constitution and of course we must obey
these commands eternally, for as long as our country exists.

All hail our founding fathers for such goodness and wisdom.

2. Well of

course they did🙄. They are so disgusting.

3. Tennessee is gun land. Don't ever stand in the way of the money.

4. Beyond shameful.

[SouthernDem4ever]

5. Add TN to the list of never visit states for me

They are dropping like flies.

[IronLionZion]

6. Thoughts and prayers for the kids, protection for gun companies

they know where their bread is buttered.

If only those gun companies had some guns to protect themselves

[TeamProg]

20. Actual LEGISLATION to protect gun companies, but not to protect

families. Yep, truly insane.

[Initech]

9. It's like the GOP just tries to come up with the wrong answer to every problem.

No, the solution to mass shootings is not to give people easier access to guns. Less guns, not more!

[TeamProg]

21. It's opposite world as far the eye cane see. nt

[Deuxcents]

10. It's beyond comprehension

[SKKY]

11. Because, I mean. When has a murdered child ever made a campaign contribution??

[PSPS]

12. George Washington

[Lulu KC]

13. Points for being consistent!

ABSURD! How many times a day can I say, "What is wrong with you?"

[SunSeeker]

14. Right, because it's gun manufacturers that need shielding, not kids.

[Solly Mack]

15. Won't someone think of the guns?

Why, yes. That was sarcasm.

[intheflow]

16. Obscene. n/t

[Historic NY]

18. Kill the child and protect the gun, nice move Tennessee

it just shows that you're not really pro-life, you are just pro-gun. Kids are targets

[twodogsbarking]

19. The boat is leaking. Drill a hole to let the water out.

[Grins]

22. Hard to be any more REPUBLICAN than that!!! NM

[dchill]

23. I'd call that being shitty for shitty's sake...

...yet again.

[Novara]

24. Protect the manufacturers of killing machines, not the children.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

25. Yeah who cares about the children?

[IcyPeas]

26. They care more about the Second Amendment than they care about second graders.

These people make me sick.
