If a gun blows up in a shooters hand, the gun manufacture should be responsible AverageGuy Jul 2015 #12

As a Bernie supporter, I completely understand. mmonk Jul 2015 #5

Why should people be able to sue ibegurpard Jul 2015 #6

Why should guns be the only product with a special exemption from state product liability laws? pnwmom Jul 2015 #9

I do not remember the specifics of the Brady Bill ibegurpard Jul 2015 #56

He has, for several years now. But you already know that Luminous Animal Jul 2015 #8

that would mean he thought he was wrong ibegurpard Jul 2015 #42

If I was senator for NH, I would have too. tazkcmo Jul 2015 #39

Right. It makes sense for Senator from Vermont. Less sense for President of the US, IMO. n/t pnwmom Jul 2015 #41
