Angie Craig: “My amendment, as you can see, is really very simple, but it is also extremely important. It is simple in this respect…”

“My amendment, as you can see, is really very simple, but it is also extremely important. It is simple in this respect: 55 cosponsors of S. 1805 have cosponsored S. 1805 because of its narrowness, of its cleanliness in the fact that we do not clutter up a lot of laws and we create one very limited but very important exemption, and that is junk lawsuits filed by a third party cannot reach through and suggest that someone who produces a legal product can be held liable for that product unless they have broken the law or a person selling that product is not held liable for that product unless they have broken the law. My amendment says, in essence, if an action involving a shooting victim of John Allen Muhammad or John Lee Malvo meets any of the exceptions of S. 1805, the action will not be barred by this bill.”
