More than 3,600 American kids have been shot already this year. Nearly a thousand of them were killed.

When will we break the gun lobby's grip on our politics?

@rbreich I think "all we have to do" is remove the immunity from lawsuits that Congress gave gun makers long ago. The problem is, we need the major gun makers because they supply our military. We can't afford for them to be sued out of existence, hence the immunity.

Not sure how to solve this easily. Maybe the immunity should apply only to gunmakers with government contracts or something.

We're stuck with the Second Amendment until that gets amended (when Hell freezes over) so we're limited in what can be done. But lawsuits are not limited by the Second Amendment.
