Talk about spin
Or just outright lying:
States United to Prevent Gun Violence (SU), an association of independent state based gun violence prevention advocacy organizations in 29 states across the nation, applauds yesterday’s bipartisan U.S. Senate rejection of S.1805, gun lobby-inspired legislation to protect the gun industry from civil liability.
Gerry Anderson, Executive Director of Arizonans for Gun Safety said: “We are absolutely delighted that Congress voted to protect America’s homes, schools and communities by voting against pet legislation proposed by the gun lobby. The Gun Industry Immunity bill would have granted wholesale immunity from liability to the makers of the most lethal of consumer products, firearms, by denying American citizens access to the courts – a basic right important to the freedom of us all. The gun industry is already the most protected in the country, exempted from oversight by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Enactment of S.1805 would have made it the only industry in American history to enjoy blanket immunity.”
The bill was killed mostly due to the anti-gun bills attached. Most of them supported the initial bill.
