Dennis Henigan Quotations

such an egregious piece of special-interest legislation, it is almost shameless.

The Congress can pass it. The President can sign it. But this shameful law will not stand, ... We will challenge the constitutionality of this special- interest extravaganza in every court where the rights of gun violence victims are being threatened.

Yes, we must severely punish criminals who use guns, but we must also stop the flood of illegal guns at its source - the gun dealers who put profit ahead of public safety.

This is a major policy success of the Clinton administration, because the gun distribution system has been out of control for a long time.

This is the United States Congress stepping in and saying these victims cannot get any kind of relief, even though their claims have already been recognized to be valid.

We are going to vigorously attack the law in courts, ... Congress has no power to retroactively deprive people of their rights.

If law enforcement officials have the tools to crack down on corrupt gun dealers and criminals face background checks wherever they buy guns, we can slow the flood of illegal guns to a trickle and save countless lives.

Guns don't fall from the sky into the hands of criminals. The crime gun market is fed by a small, identifiable group of reckless gun dealers. Yes, we must severely punish criminals who use guns. But we must also stop the flood of illegal guns at its source -- the gun dealers who put profit ahead of public safety.

It's a perfect example of an obviously meritorious suit.

Under the Louisiana product liability statute, a manufacturer can be held liable for damage caused by a product that is unreasonably dangerous in design.
