Senate Passes Gun Legislation : Shameless

[spanone]

What other manufacturers are shielded from liability for their products?

~snip~ WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate voted Friday to shield firearms manufacturers, dealers and importers from lawsuits brought by victims of gun crimes, a measure opponents said had been ordered up by the gun lobby.
The 65-31 vote passed a bill that supporters said protects the industry from financial disaster and bankruptcy caused by damage lawsuits. ~snip~
