Wisconsin Shield Bill

From NBC15 TV (WI):


People who live in Wisconsin would be barred from suing gun makers over shooting deaths or injuries under a bill advancing through the Legislature.

The bill passed by the Assembly this week, also exempts gun
dealers and firing-range owners. It would only allow a lawsuit against manufacturers when the guns are found to be defective.

The sponsor is Republican Representative Mark Pettis of Hertel.

The issue is also being debated at the federal level.

Governor Doyle promises to veto the bill if it passes the
Senate.


I'm guessing that Doyle is a Democrat? [Yes. --ed.] I'm also guessing that he thinks that products manufactured and marketed legally and that are in no way defective must somehow be an offense to society and be open to litigation when misused...

So I guess, under the logic Governor Doyle is using, if a drunk driver runs over someone and kills them, it's OK for the victim's family to sue the car manufacturer.

And the brewery, and the alcohol distributor, and the car dealership...

Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. 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.
