HAWAII: Governor (Democrat) Signs NRA Backed Bill Into Law.

http://www.nraila.org/legislation/state-legislation/2012/7/hawaii-governor-signs-important-nra-instructor-liability-bill-into-law.aspx

The NRA is pleased to announce that Governor Neil Abercrombie (D) signed House Bill 679 into law on July 9. The protections for instructors contained in this bill took effect upon his signature.

House Bill 679 was introduced by state Representative Ken Ito (D-48) and six other state Representatives. Now in effect, this legislation exempts NRA instructors from absolute liability for injury or damage caused by their firearms during the course of providing firearms training at a firing range for the purpose of acquiring a permit to purchase a firearm


Still more frontlash. That makes 31 NRA backed bills signed into law this year. This one give legal protection to NRA instructors. And the Governor and state Representative are both Democrats. That frontlash whip is really cracking this week. Yeehaw!

You can't compete with facts so all you have is extreme hyperbole. As soon as your statements are exposed as false (Usually instantly) your credibility is lost.

How many legislative victories has the pro-control side had this year? I will tell you. ZERO. Meanwhile the pro-gun side has seen 31 NRA backed laws enacted, so far this year.

"Meh, it's the gungeon. Who cares what gets said there, they all deserve it..." Which is a reasonable peraphrase.
