A Gun Solution from Rep. Bob Goodlatte: Is This for Real?!?

Rep. Bob Goodlatte
The following comes from my pal Robin Barnhill, a bright woman who follows important developments closely. This is telling about the man who represents the 6th District--my district--but does not represent me. Never has. On any issue.

Here's Robin's note to me:

Bob Goodlatte's NRA votes - passed: A bill to prohibit civil liability actions from being brought or continued against manufacturers, distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition for damages, injunctive or other relief resulting from the misuse of their products by others. A YES vote would: 
  • Prohibit individuals from filing a qualified civil liability action
  • Exempt lawsuits broug.ht against individuals who knowingly transfer a firearm that will be used to commit a violent or drug-trafficking crime
  • Exempt lawsuits against actions that result in death, physical injury or property damage due solely to a product defect
  • Dismiss of all civil liability actions pending on the date of enactment
  • Prohibit the manufacture, import, sale or delivery of armor piercing ammunition
From me [Robin]: The one that really gets me is :Exempt lawsuits broug...ht against individuals who knowingly transfer a firearm that will be used to commit a violent or drug-trafficking crime
Really??

  1. A suggestion that might preserve communal right to bear arms, reduce gun violence, reduce or nearly eliminate rampage violence, and possibly reduce the incidence of sexual assault:

    Firearms permitted in all communities, but only females allowed to touch them. It is a felony for a male to touch a firearm.
