Sounds good to me
Alright being a NRA member I have heard of this particular piece of legislation for awhile now. It is honestly a decent piece of legislation in that it does put an end to stupid law suits. This story creates an unsavory view of the entire bill addressing it as a nod towards big business. It seems that they are disappointed that the people will no longer be able to companies responsible for their own actions (the peoples actions that is). The article brings the whole McDonald's debate in.
Well here's my views - MD's is not responsible for people getting fat off of their foods, the people getting fat are responsible. Gun companies are not responsible for guns being used in a crime. The criminals are responsible. People have sought compensation from gun companies because they or a loved one have been wounded or killed by a gun. That's because the gun companies have the money. Gun companies do not advocate the use of weapons in crimes. Those that sell concealable guns aim their advertisement towards those like me who will carry concealed for self defense. I am sickened by the idea that someone would blame themselves being fat on a fast food place because they obviously were forced into the store at gun point and had the food stuffed down their throats by company officials. If that would happen I would support a lawsuit, but if your fat because you make wrong choices in food, that's your OWN damned fault.
Now a brief review on the article.
The problem with this logic is that he did break the law by allowing the weapons to enter the black market. If he sold it to a qualified buyer, then the weapons didn't enter the black market through him, though if he was selling to unqualified buyers then he was in violation of federal law and civil courts would have been able to pursue him on those charges. One thing that I had to laugh at is one article has touch on the fact that Al Gore lost support in rural communities because he advocated gun control. People who live in medium to large cities have the luxury of relatively fast response times to emergencies, whereas if you live in the country response time can be 10 minutes or more. This is not the police's fault by any means, God knows they try, but basically you are on your own until they arrive. Rural citizens realize this and many will keep a firearm for household defense. Take that away you do give power to the criminal.

Now a brief review on the article.
Maryland Democrat Chris Van Hollen, whose district was terrorised by a sniper in the Washington area three years ago, said the gun bill will "strip innocent victims of crimes of their rights and instead extend protections to those unscrupulous dealers who put guns into the hands of criminals".
Opponents argue that had the gun immunity law been in place, relatives of the victims of the sniper incident in Washington would have been unlikely to win the $2.5m settlement from the dealer who claimed he had lost the weapon used, plus some 200 other guns, to the black market.
