They called it "death by a thousand cuts".

They realized they would not be able to accomplish a single killing blow to individual rights, they couldnt kill the 2nd amendment, so they tried to drive gun manufacturers out of business by filing an unending stream of nuisance suits that had to be defended against at significant cost.

Fortunately, they lost, and our Constitution won.

bustr... yes... I realize that is how it went down..  I was merely saying that the judges let us down... they should have thrown out all those cases and fined the people filing them...  they never do tho...  

Everyone needs more protection against frivolous lawsuits...  

and...  varmit season opened up to include lawyers would help a lot too.  Don't have to kill em all... just till the herd thins a mite.

This is the one thing I like about the Republican Party (and the only thing that stops me from going Non-Commital ---> Democrat)

Not me, for years people didn't know what they were smoking, they hid what they were putting in the tobacco

I seem to recall one of those truth.com (or something like that) commercials, where they have a shopping cart full of stuff from the grocery store, and they're challenging people to find the one thing in the cart that doesn't list on the package everything used to make the product.

The item they were looking for was a pack of cigarettes.
