Shielding gun businesses - shameful and disgusting

The Senate agreed to shield gun manufacturers and dealers from liability lawsuits on Friday.

Long sought by the gun lobby, the Senate measure - approved 65 to 31 - would prohibit lawsuits against gun makers and distributors for misuse of their products during the commission of a crime. Senate supporters said the plan was needed to protect the domestic firearms industry from a rash of lawsuits that threatened its economic future.
