<DIV>I the truest <SPAN id=misspell-0 class=mark>spirt</SPAN> of equity,how far do we carry this? Do we hold auto manufactures and dealers liable when their products are used in crimes? Bartenders and distilleries liable when their products are used in crimes? What about holding Sears liable when someone buys and uses a Craftsman screw driver in a crime? Someone checks out a book from a library and uses it in a crime, do we hold the author, publisher and the local library liable? If someone buys a two by four at Moscow Building Supply, and uses it to commit a crime, do we hold Moscow Building Supply and the mill where the 2x4 was manufactured liable?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It's far too slippery of a slope to hold a legitimate manufacturer and dealer liable when they have no control over their products, no matter what those products are, once they leave the manufactures and dealers control.</DIV>

<DIV>The gun liability bill has for years been the No. 1 legislative priority of the National Rifle Association, which has lobbied lawmakers intensely for it. Its final passage, by a vote of 283 to 144, with considerable Democratic support, reflected the changing politics of gun control, an issue many Democrats began shying away from after <A style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,102)" title="More articles about Al Gore." href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/g/al_gore/index.html?inline=nyt-per" rel=nofollow target=_blank>Al Gore</A>, who promoted it, was defeated in the 2000 presidential race.</DIV>
<DIV>"It's a historic piece of legislation," said Wayne <SPAN id=misspell-4 class=mark>LaPierre</SPAN>, the association's chief executive, who said the bill was the most significant victory for the gun lobby since Congress rewrote the federal gun control law in 1986. "As of Oct. 20, the Second Amendment is probably in the best shape in this country that it's been in decades."</DIV>
<DIV>The bill, which is identical to one approved in July by the Senate, is aimed at ending a spate of lawsuits by individuals and municipalities, including New York City, seeking to hold gun manufacturers and dealers liable for negligence when their weapons are used in crimes...</DIV></DIV>
