Unless the purpose of the PLCAA was to get guns banned, I don't see the connection. nt hack89 Oct 2015 #46

Your post may be a good example of why it is needed. aikoaiko Oct 2015 #49

The PLCAA gives gun manufacturers unique immunities. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #95

You're blending truth with some with some fictions. aikoaiko Oct 2015 #118

What did I say that was fiction? nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #119

I'll quote you. aikoaiko Oct 2015 #121

What can victims sue for other than if a gun malfunctions? nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #122

There are six specific exceptions to PLCAA aikoaiko Oct 2015 #123

Those six "exceptions" still only allow one type of product liability suit: malfuntion. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #124

Read what you wrote. You said that gun manufacturers could only be sued for malfunctions. aikoaiko Oct 2015 #125

I (and you) were referring to consumer product liabilty suits against manufacturers. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #126

Another terrible tragedy. My condolences to injured and family of the killed. aikoaiko Oct 2015 #47

"Tragedy", like in "accident." Call Me Wesley Oct 2015 #53

No, "trajedy", as in a massive suffering caused by multiple killings by a person with a gun. aikoaiko Oct 2015 #58

So, you're the oppressed minority? Call Me Wesley Oct 2015 #62

I do not think of myself as oppressed, do you? aikoaiko Oct 2015 #63

Nope, I'm Swiss, what do you expect? Call Me Wesley Oct 2015 #68

Good night. aikoaiko Oct 2015 #77

It ceases to be an accident when it keeps happening and people refuse to change mythology Oct 2015 #72

The government extensively studies gun violence and related concerns. branford Oct 2015 #114

Quit peddling that bullshit here. That is simply not true. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #135

So, you're discounting all the available and ample firearm-related research branford Oct 2015 #138

No, I'm discounting your lie that the government "studies" (present tense) gun violence. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #139

Sigh... branford Oct 2015 #140

Recording death statistics is not studying gun violence and how to prevent it. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #141

I'm well aware of who does what. branford Oct 2015 #142

What you said was a lie, regardless of where you purport to have worked. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #143

Of course any study would show the relationship. That is why the GOP banned funds for such studies. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #137
