Hillary Clinton wants to overturn the PLCAA

PLCAA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_of_Lawful_Commerce_in_Arms_Act

http://www.wsj.com/articles/hillary-clintons-gun-control-proposals-to-include-executive-action-1444017603

The Clinton campaign laid out a robust gun-control agenda, including calling on Congress to overturn a 2005 law that bars victims of gun violence from suing gun manufacturers. Mr. Sanders supported that law when he served in the House.

In the 2014 Isla Vista killings, the weapons used include: "Two knives, Glock 34 handgun, Two SIG Sauer P226 handguns and BMW 328i Coupé."

Would it be reasonable for the victims and victims families to sue all of those manufactures? If not, how one justify suing any of them?

1. We want to get rid of guns not BMW's

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

3. ~~~

sorry to disappoint.

5. "We"? Still waiting for that "Gun Control Army" to show up at the voting booth

[GGJohn]

9. Who is "we"?

It certainly isn't the American public.

[stone space]

13. I'm pretty sure that I'm part of the American Public. (nt)

[GGJohn]

14. Then you would be in the 25% of Americans who want to get rid of firearms,

while the other 75% are opposed to a firearm ban, so, that would make you the minority.

11. "What you mean 'we,' Kemosahbee?"

Hillary seems to be pulling a Fiorina: Tell the most outrageous tale about the enemy, get a boost in the polls.

Fiorina really let a mud-splattering hippo fart of a story about Planned Parenthood, and the crowd went wild: Got a boost in polls.

Hillary wants Uique status established for gun companies so they can be ued beyind normal product liability statutes, but calls the present staus an exemption only for guns. At least her Bar-ROOM! at the watering hole has the grace of upside down, 180° symmetry, but this muddy surface burst will be applauded by some: Boost in polls? Wait and see.

To controller/banners: Before this law was passed, there were several special exemption suits filed against manufacturers. Do you know the results of these suits?

34. Off topic but............

Ten thousand Indians are descending on the Lone Ranger and Tonto, the Lone Ranger looks at Tonto and says "Tonto, we need to get to those rocks and shoot it out with those Indians and save our lives", Tonto looks at the Lone Ranger and says, "Where do you get this we shit white man?"

2. Sue BMW

Then we sue onieda if they made the knives. Maybe the gas station that sold him gas to get there. . .

7. Don't forget the folks that made the roads used to travel there.

and doorknobs...without doorknobs the killer would never have been able to exit the house.

6. The lawsuit lottery.....part of the new American way.

8. But it's for a "good cause" - BECAUSE GUNZ!!!

Our gun control minded friends have a situational ethics problem, plus they are short sighted to a fault.

No problem for them using a back door approach to closing down gun manufacturers with lawsuits.

But if the same thing was tried as a back door way to shut down surgical instrument manufacturers for women's health issues, they'd scream like crazy about how horrible and unconstitutional it was.

We've lost the House and Senate and how many state legislatures and Governors? Maybe when President Liz Cheney is in the Oval Office for her second term they'll start to figure out their pet issue is a loser.

10. Sometimes the blue team picks up a good cause

Cutting death and violence is a very good cause. Both the red and the blue teams are in favor. It's how to do that where they differ. Maybe I'm wrong but some aspects of this just seem to me to be something that one of the teams adopts as a position simply because the other team is against it.

12. Good for her!

[GGJohn]

15. She's doing nothing more than pandering to her base,

she damn well knows that she can't repeal it, only the Congress can.
What do you think the chances of that are?

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

17. Wasting money and, more important, time and attention is good for no one

BTW, good work dodging the question.

[pablo_marmol]

16. Depressing to see HRC and Bernie vying for the title of "Toughest on Guns".

What a political winner this is.

[stone space]

18. If Hillary pulls Bernie to the left on this, that's a good thing. (nt)

[GGJohn]

19. Hillary isn't going to pull Bernie anywhere on gun rights,

Bernie's his own man, unlike Hillary and her puppet masters.

[stone space]

20. You make it sound like Bernie is incapable of growth.

Why are you insulting Bernie here?

[GGJohn]

22. And you're back at it.

What insult to Bernie?
Please do tell.

[stone space]

23. Attempting to paint Bernie as inflexible and incapable of growth and evolution.

What insult to Bernie?

What you are pushing is a rather common stereotype that some folks have about folks Bernie's age.

I'm old enough myself to discount such stereotypes.

[GGJohn]

24. Please, I beg of you,

just stop with the lies.

[Duckhunter935]

26. he can't help it

I would have thought several timeouts would have done something.

I feel sorry for him myself

I fully expect for this to be alerted on.


Jury, please keep in mind this poster has been put on vacation several times over some of his posts that were determined to be over the top. That process should change behavior.

[GGJohn]

27. Apparently not.

Being an alleged calculus teacher, he sure doesn't seem very knowledgeable.

[Duckhunter935]

28. Well I am quite sure that one of mine will be alerted on

Just a matter of time

[pablo_marmol]

31. Sad truth about the double-standard here re. "gun control"/gun rights discussion.

Stay strong, brudda man.

[Eleanors38]

36. With some it is sport. tRump is best at it, though Fiorina got him on PP.

[pablo_marmol]

30. Bernie is completely capable of growth.

Growth exemplified by dumping the "assault weapon" lie among many others.

[Duckhunter935]

32. Yep

He tend to listen to the experts, unlike others.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

21. You don't seem to know left from right

[Duckhunter935]

25. she will not stay there on this issue

Give it a couple of months or less

[pablo_marmol]

29. Nope. Not from a moral standpoint, or political.

It must really chap your backside that the CDC has recently admitted that guns are used for self-defense with great frequency.

[Duckhunter935]

33. But the keep telling us

Government studies are banned, what that is not true?

[DonP]

35. For the sake of argument ...

... Even if the CDC and any other alphabet soup agency actually had "gun studies" banned.

What stops the Billionaire banker Bloomberg and his ilk from paying for any study (and results) he wants? I know for a fact that ORC accepts checks and POs, I've written several myself to them over the years.

Doesn't Hemenway or the other hired guns need a summer house somewhere?

I mean, what stops the gun controllers from funding studies?

For that matter, I keep hearing from the control side that the NRA pays for Congress loyalty. If that's true, does that mean that gun controllers, even with Bloomberg's and the Joyce Foundation's billions of $$$ behind them, are just too cheap or stupid to buy their own congress critters or outbid the NRA?

I cant think of a reason, well, other than they seem to be both too lazy to get off the couch and do anything or go anywhere to protest and too cheap to join any group or donate in the real world?
