“I can tell you when these two snipers were moving around the area, ordinary families were living in fear. They had a sniper rifle and they were killing innocent people. Some 13 were killed and 6 were injured. After this terrible sniper incident, we learned there was a gun dealer who could not even account for the gun that was used to kill these innocent people. So the survivors, as well as the victims' families, came forward and said they wanted to hold that gun dealer accountable in court for irresponsible and reckless conduct in selling firearms, in allowing them to get into the hands of these snipers. That is reasonable for the family to do. It is something I support. But make no mistake, this bill, S. 1805, slams the courthouse door on these victims and their families.”
