This bill, very necessary, is really an indictment of our legal system and the abuses occuring as a result of special interest groups and greedy lawyers.

Look like the Gun lobby work a lot better than the Tobacco lobby

ever wonder why there are allways flu vaccine shortages in the US year after year......there are very few makers of vaccines PERIOD in the US. All it takes is 1 person to suffer complications and get sick or even worse die as a result and they go bankrupt. What's the point of making a product if you are going to get sued for it, even if it does alot for the greater good.

Personally I don't know how anyone can logically disagree with this peice of law.....key word "logically". I've read bits and pieces were liberals are crying that the gun industry is "above the law" but that's just nonsense imho.

Gunslinger, can you name the lawyer who was the first to sue the Vaccine Makers after his client got sick?

Yes those darned gun manufacturers always told us "bullets did no real damage and how could a gun be deadly?"

I was going to say it was John Edwards, but snopes says not.

Notice how life was so much more fun before Snopes?

Hmm you're right I just dug an early 1900's advert from Colt where it says "putting a loaded gun in your mouth and firing it has absolutely no detrimental health effects and is recognised as a cure for many ailments". Now all we need to do is dig up some internal memo's of gun manufacturers showing that they in fact knew guns were lethal weapons but tried to cover it up!

Lets sue em I say!

I can't believe some of you are stupid enough to compare this with the tobacco company lawsuits.

In the case of the tobacco companies... they were sued because they knew they had a harmfull product if used and they hid the fact..... they also hid the fact that it was addictive and buried their research.

in the private plane industry... if a person flew drunk and crashed into a mountain the private plane industry was sued for making a dangerous product... same for guns.

I don't think anyone taking up smoking today could or should be able to sue the tobacco companies tho.

I cant believe that some people are stupid enough to claim that that it came as a big shock that tobacco is bad for you due to the tobacco companies not telling us.

The government has been warning us since the 60's and common sense told you even before then that it cant be good for you.

Kinda looks like some of you are selective in your nanny statism.

Shamus, big tobacco's known their product kills since the 60's. The info didn't stop their marketing to kids and the additives to lock you in. How they did business then, how they do business now are two different things.

Comparing big tobacco to Cessna or Remington or McDonalds is kinda like comparing Dacau to Leavenworth.
