“Washington State dealer the Senator referred to--yes, there are no gun dealers in Washington, this city--those were actions in violation of Federal firearms law. And of course the question is the administering of the law, and clearly that amendment does so. But I have seen the amendment in quick glance, will review it to see if there can be some accommodation here. I know the intent of the Senator. It is intent in good faith to do exactly what he said and that is exactly what we want done. We do not want those who are under the umbrella of a federally licensed dealer to in any way misuse that law and not to be prosecuted for the misuse of that law. That is the intent here. It is the frivolous lawsuits that we are attempting to block. We have been very clean and specific in the language of the bill. We have even refined it over last year in a way that I hope the Senator might be able to support in the end because I think it clarifies a complicated situation that is currently before manufacturers and licensed dealers.”
