Contact Senator Frist !!

Once again, a bill is before the Senate (S 397) that would (hopefully) shield the firearms industry from frivolous lawsuits. Go here and search for "S 397" for the text of the bill. This bill would prohibit civil lawsuits against the firearms industry for the actions of third parties.

As necessary as this bill is, the left is again trying to tack on "killer amendments" and/or tack on amendments that would allow the bill to pass, but would further inhibit our Second Amendment rights on other fronts.

Thanks to Gun Owners of America for this update. According to GOA, this bill is not perfect, but the left is still trying to tack on things such as a renewal of the Clinton Gun Ban, a .50cal ban, mandatory trigger locks (a lot of good a pistol with a lock on it will do you in time of need...), and more.

Please contact Senator Frist - he has the power to get this legislation passed without any killer amendments, and without being watered down any more by the anti-freedom left.
