Thanks to the efforts of you e-mail activists, the U.S. House passed legislation to put a halt to the endless frivilous lawsuits brought by the anti-gunners against legitimate firearms manufacturers. (See SCI Alert 4/8/03A) The National Rifle Association (NRA) reports that H.R. 1036 passed by a resounding margin of 285-140, including 63 democrats. Congratulations to you all!

But our fight is only have over. We now face an even more challenging battle in the U.S. Senate. The Senate will next vote on S.659 to prohibit these junk lawsuits for damages resulting from the misuse of their products by criminals. We need you to contact your Senators and urge them to support the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.

You can contact both your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121. Or you can write your Senators by taking the following link to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) site -- http://capwiz.com/nssf/issues/bills/?bill=177024 and simply entering your zip code. If link doesn't work, just copy and paste it in your web address line. Let's finish the job and free gun makers of this black cloud that has been hanging over us all for way to long!
