Next time someone mentions gun rights

[farminator3000]

36. sorry, i think i'm the one that gave the hackster that link

it is called-
PROTECTION OF LAWFUL COMMERCE IN ARMS act

there is really no argument.

it sucks for everyone but gun makers and the NRA.

it sucks for 'good' gun owners because it makes them look like NRA puppets for 'supporting' it

AND its a bunch of unintelligible gibberish.

just like the way they shit-sandwiched the 'safe passage act' into the FOPA- if a normal person can't decipher it, they can make any law they want!

i didn't read thru the thread yet, but it seems you are trying to inform mr. hackster that the FOPA is the cause of the 40-50% of gun sales that are illegal. and he is, of course, complaining, even though he has enough guns, but he is NOT doing for the NRA!


The Arms Act

The Arms Act was passed in 2005, in the depths of the Bush era, and today it remains one of the most jarring parts of a relentless conservative campaign to impose "tort reform" upon America. It shields gun-industry actors who may not have done all they can do to ensure that guns stay out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them. And it does so in the name of the hoary concept that freedom of gun commerce is more important per se than freedom from gun violence. Think that's an equation the American people embrace today?

Here below are some of the Congressional "findings" which accompany the law. The language is telling -- and downright dire in its condemnation of the rule of law and centuries-long role of judges and juries in our civil justice system. In the name of shielding potentially negligent gun dealers, Congress quickly threw under the bus virtually every legal precept Americans have treasured for the past 225 years. According to the law, having a jury of American citizens pass judgment on the negligent acts of a gun dealer weakens the very fabric of our society:
