I would support the same sort of legislation for any industry or business that was subject to the same onslaught of frivolous lawsuits filed with the intention of bankrupting or putting that industry out of business.

As another example, the "Cheeseburger Bill" was also passed, and I think rightly so. Blame Burger King or McDonald's for ones obesity and take them to court for it? I don't think so.

I blame a lot of this partly on greed (hey, Micky D's can afford it), and partly on lack of personal accountability (like maybe the person should stop stuffing their face with french fries and Big Macs).

I'm no fan of corporations or big business, but even I don't think they should be open to lawsuits simply because someone is looking to make a fast buck or air a petty or baseless grievance.

The protection granted to the firearms and fast food industry could very well be the tip of the iceberg and other industries will seek similar protections.
