U.S Leaps Backward in Gun Control

View this link.
The House of Representatives recently passed a bill that shields gun manufacturers and dealers from all types of liability lawsuits with a vote of 283 to 144. Once the bill is signed by President Bush, manufacturers will not face trivial lawsuits that are currently being made against them, but they could be less likely to manufacture guns with sufficient warning labels, which would in turn bring more defected guns into the market. Some claim that the case goes against the entire legal premise of this country’s justice system because the main purpose of the judicial system is to have judges and juries decide on such matters, not politicians who just want to achieve their own personal goals.
