Oregon Gun Shield Bill...

I don't know if it will happen but from the Albany (OR) Democrat-Herald:


A bill that would shield gun makers and dealers from being sued when the firearms they sell are used in crimes drew no opposition at a hearing in front of a House panel Wednesday.

Legislative lawyers, though, say the measure is flawed because it clashes with citizens' state constitutional rights to take legal action to seek compensation for injuries.

Rep. Robert Ackerman, D-Eugene, House Judiciary civil law subcommittee chairman, said the panel will rework the bill to try to resolve the conflict.

Lawmakers need to protect the firearms industry "from frivolous lawsuits aimed to run it out of business,'' said Rep. Chuck Burley, R-Bend, the bill's main sponsor.

Burley said he hadn't been contacted by any gun control advocates opposing the measure.

The bill is patterned after a similar federal measure that was passed by the U.S. House last year but died in the Senate.


Maybe we just have to do it state-by-state because we certainly aren't seeing any action in Congress and Bush has been useless on the matter.

So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that.
