Blumenthal Delusion on Trump and Guns a Ploy for Attention and Disruption

“Donald Trump has a legacy moment. When he can seize this opportunity, a historic opportunity, do the right thing and adopt these common-sense measures: background checks for every gun purchase, a ban on terrorists buying guns and ending the immunity, the legal immunity, unprecedented, unknown to any other industry for gun manufacturers. These are your ideas, Donald. We’ll give you credit for them.” [More]
There's a method to his madness.

  1. Ah, yes, the "unprecedented" immunity that Congress "gave" the firearms industry ... that was only needed because of the slew of nuisance lawsuits they were facing which went against all previous legal liability precedents; it merely codified them in statute.

    But if they're still that worked up about it, may I suggest a bill. Call it the PLCA -- Protection of Lawful Commerce Act -- which will extend all those "unprecedented" protections Congress gave the firearms industry into all other lawful industries.

    If they're that worried about the firearms industry having "special protections", let's just give every lawful industry those same protections, by statute instead of by legal precedent. Equal protection!
