As reported here, the Senate passed a bill to protect gun manufacturers from frivoulous lawsuits; of course, Washington States Sen.'s Murray and "Can't-do-well" both voted against the bill - no surprise there. What this bill does is protect the manufacturers of a legal product from lawsuits over improper/illegal use of their product, putting the responsibility on the illegal/improper use of that product on those who perpetrate the crime. Now the House needs to get on board.
Folks, a gun is a tool, just like a hammer is a tool. It is neither "good" nor "evil". A hammer can be used to inflict injury or death upon an individual, but does anyone out there want a ban on, say, 12 pound sledge hammers just because those hammers can inflict extreme injury on someone? Of course not. Hammers, even 12 pound sledge hammers are merely tools, and when used properly are quite effective tools. However, when used improperly, they can cause injury or death, but is that the fault of the hammer? In a word, no. It is the fault/responsibility of the person using the hammer.
This principle also applies to guns, but liberals just don't get that.
