Stand with Lonnie and Sandy Phillips against the NRA,

for repeal of the PLCAA, against all politicians who support the PLCAA (e.g. Bernie Sanders), and for Martin O'Malley, the Presidential candidate with the very best plan to prevent and reduce deaths from gun violence. I further condemn all politicians who voted to de-fund CDC research into the nature and causes of gun violence (e.g. Bernie Sanders). Without such research, the NRA finds it easy to spread it's false propaganda, and the death toll from preventable gun violence continues to climb, unabated.

We Lost Our Daughter to a Mass Shooter and Now Owe $203,000 to His Ammo Dealer.

'The judge dismissed our case because, he said, these online sellers had special immunity from the general duty to use reasonable care under the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act and a Colorado immunity law. If you couple the PLCAA law with Colorado's law HB 000-208, (which says in essence: If you bring a civil case against a gun or ammunition seller and the case is dismissed then the plaintiff must pay all the defendant's costs), you have an impenetrable barrier to using the judicial system to effect change in gun legislation in Colorado.'
