Great News For The 2nd Amendment
I just read this over at the Volokh Conspiracy [if you don't read it--you should]. The house just passed S.397, the "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms" act. The gist of it is that gun manufacturers cannot be found liable for the proper use of their products. Anti-gun bigots--having a hard time winning at the ballot box--were trying to win in the last refuge of the elitest left. They were attempting to circumvent the 2nd amendment by suing gun manufacturers when someone used a gun in a crime. If you've seen the movie, The Runaway Jury*, you understand what I'm talking about here. If successful, this could have the de facto effect of banning guns. The bill was previously passed by the Senate and it now on the way to the President's desk where he is sure to sign it. It's a good day for the Constitution.

* Don't hold this against John Grisham. His book of the same name was about Tobacco. Hollywood decided to make evil gun manufacturers the target. I suspect that had something to do with its poor showing at the box office.
