Biden Joins Gun Control policy discussion

[dennishoddy]

I can't understand why anyone that had payed attention to politics prior to the 2008 election would see biden or obama as friendly to the second amendment. Campaign speeches vs. voting records and prior commitments to anti second ammendment legislature. Were some people living under a rock before the last election?

Let me make this perfectly clear(to quote a favorite statement of the idiot president we have) the typical American Voter has no clue about political platforms and votes on who is the most friendly to the camera, and would make a "cool" president.
Money talks in politics.
They that have the money, win.

As far as gun lawsuits go, if the company manufactures something incorrectly, then they should be allowed to be sued. However, lawsuits by cities for "gun violence," etc are really sort of stupid

"Hersh & Hersh's Case Against Gun Manufacturer Provides Model for Other Such Cases

A fourteen-year-old high school student accidentally killed his best friend with his father's "unloaded" Beretta semi-automatic kept in the home for "safety". The gun had a poorly designed "load chamber indicator" and was not equipped with any type of safety lock.

Hersh & Hersh, along with the Center to Prevent Handgun Violence and the parents of the dead boy, filed a product liability action against Beretta seeking to compel the gun manufacturer to utilize available safety devices to prevent tragedies like this from happening.

This was the first such case to survive Beretta's heretofore successful pretrial maneuvering and was presented to a jury. Unfortunately, the jury found that the homeowner (the father of the boy who killed his friend) was mostly responsible. Although this case was unsuccessful, it provided a model for much other litigation that is still pending against gun manufacturers which seeks to hold them responsible for placing unsafe guns in the stream of commerce. Guns are responsible for thousands of accidental/non-intended deaths each year.

This is an example of a case taken, pursued and tried to conclusion for no fee. While this litigation was pending, Hersh & Hersh and the parents offered to waive any fee and settle the case for no money if Beretta would agree to effectuate safety changes in their handguns. Beretta refused.

Of interest is the fact that the trial court ordered a new trial of this matter, which is now pending."

Classical case of abuse of the justice system. The gun actually fired when the trigger was pulled, amazing!

JB, the lawsuits aren't about profits for the plaintiff. They are strictly about bankrupting the manufacturers. They figure that if they can't legislate the guns away, they'll get rid rid of them at the source.

So to your earlier comment, the lawsuits are only stupid if you are looking at it in a context of what's right and what's wrong. Something the libtard commie bastards we have now, never seem to do, except when it supports their agenda.
