Sniper Families Fight Bill Aiding Gunmakers
Lobbying Campaign Opposes Legal Protection for Firearms Industry

Former Montgomery County police chief Charles A. Moose and relatives of Washington area sniper victims helped a team of seasoned gun-control advocates launch a lobbying campaign yesterday on Capitol Hill to defeat a bill that would help shield the firearms industry from lawsuits.

Moose and the victims' relatives, along with Montgomery County Executive Douglas M. Duncan (D), said they are taking their strong emotions about the October sniper shootings and investing them in the pitched political battle unfolding over gun liability legislation.

"My brother is gone, and there's nothing I can do about that," said Victoria Snider, whose brother, James L. "Sonny" Buchanan Jr., was slain Oct. 3 as he mowed a lawn in White Flint. "But I am asking Congress, 'Please do not take away my rights.' "

The liability legislation, which would protect the gun industry from ongoing and future lawsuits, recently passed the House and is pending in the Senate, where 54 members have voiced support

Oh, don't you just love the whiner who said that if the legislation (to prohibit certain suits) passes, he'll never get to make his case to a jury (over the loss of his loved one)?

How ludicrous. He implies that making his case will assuage his grief. He also implies that if he can't sue the manufacturer, he can't make his case to a jury at all. Yes, he can. He can sue Mohammad and Malvo. But he won't. That's because they have no money and are in jail and will never have any. That means that all he cares about is money - not justice.

I warned y'all about Chief Urban Studies. IIRC, WL was the only one who agreed with me.
