Clinton and some Democrats also favor repealing a 2005 law that shielded the gun industry from tobacco-style liability lawsuits filed by shooting victims or their relatives.

It's been five months since you endorsed it. Have you managed to actually test it yet?

Uh, yes. I just checked. Jonathan Mossberg runs a small startup (iGun), not O.F. Mossberg.

If he returns to tout the Electro-Mossberg again, be sure to remind him of Mossberg's own words
