More anti-gun wish lists are hitting the immunity bill:

Republican Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., agreed late Thursday to allow debate on amendments to the measure Friday. One, sponsored by Sen. Jon Corzine, D-N.J., would make police officers exceptions to the bill’s restrictions, allowing them to sue. Another, sponsored by Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., would do the same for children.

Yes, because frivolous lawsuits should be allowed for the children and police. Simple fact is, the dealers either act within the law or do not.

Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., introduced an amendment that would ban hollow-tipped, “cop killer” bullets. Another, sponsored by Sen. Jack Reed , D-R.I., would allow individuals, but not municipalities, to file such lawsuits.

Uhm, what are hollow-tipped, “cop killer” bullets. I thought the lie about cop-killer bullets was that they penetrate body armor, which hollow points do not. A ban on hollow points would end hunting as most states prohibit full metal jacketed rounds for hunting large game. Coincidentally, handgun ammo designed to pierce vests is already banned. And allowing individuals to file suit is the same as not passing the law.
