In other words, you weren't able to comprehend the two salient points
of that website, even though they were clearly marked #1 and #2.

If you are in favor of enforcing the Assault Weapons Ban, a law we
already have, you agree with salient point #1. If you agree that gun
dealers who break the law should be liable in civil suits, a law we
already have, you agree with salient point #2.

Geezus, unlike some of the whackos around here you really are as dumb
as you look.


While the website you reference poses item #2 in an inocuous light, and you
also ignorantly perpetuate the misunderstanding, item #2 does not refer to
dealers simply 'breaking the law'. There have been numerous lawsuits of
late attempting to sue dealers and gun manufacturers for simply selling
their product which later is used in a crime or accident. This has been
done in an attempt to replicate some of the successes of the tobacco
lawsuits. However, for the logic of the lawsuits to be the same, gun
manufacturers would have to have claimed their products don't kill people
and convenient stores, grocery stores and other outlets of tobacco products
should have been targeted as well.
