LATE BREAKING MEMBERSHIP ALERT
Senate To Begin Debate On Bill (S. 659/S. 1805) To Stop
Frivolous Lawsuits Against Firearms Industry
Since 1998, dozens of municipalities and cities have filed suit against America's firearms industry, falsely alleging that it is responsible for the unforeseen acts of criminals. Fortunately, 33 states and the U.S. House of Representatives have passed legislation to prohibit these reckless lawsuits aimed at bankrupting U.S. firearms and ammunition manufacturers.
Unfortunately, the U.S. Senate has not yet followed suit, and Americans remain one anti-gun judge or one anti-gun jury away from seeing the firearms industry destroyed. SCI has just learned that the U.S. Senate is now planning to vote on this issue as early as Wednesday, February 25. That is why it is critically important to contact your U.S. Senators and urge them to pass S 659/S. 1805.
Please call 202-224-3121 and urge your Senators to fully support S. 659/S. 1805!
Ask them to do everything in their power to end these meritless lawsuits and ensure that this essential legislation is approved as written. Tell them it's time to pass S. 659/S. 1805! With your help, we will win this fight and see this critical legislation signed into law.
