It appears that if you pound a pulpit, or represent the NRA you can get things done in the 109th Congress. RE Senate Bill S. 397.
The overall bill, sponsored by Sen. Larry Craig R-Idaho, would protect the gun industry from lawsuits filed for criminal or unlawful use of firearms or ammunition.
Senate leaders opened debate earlier this week with a tough stance against amendments that might offend the National Rifle Association and kill the bill. Last year, a similar bill died after Democrats succeeded in attaching an amendment that would have extended the expiring assault weapons ban. The NRA withdrew its support, and Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., canceled the vote.
Guess this is yet another exception to that old adage "Thou Shall Not Kill" or maybe that was a Commandment???
