Either read it again, this time with an -open- mind,

The whole thing sounds like a solution in search of a problem.
I heard that there have been a total of 47 such lawsuits, ever.

47 lawsuits which blamed a non-criminal for the actions of a criminal.
That's 47 too many, and when it costs 6 or 7 figures to defend against
something like that, dismissing it as 'not a problem' is a bit, well,
wrong.

The gun lobby is starting to sound like Sarah Brady here,
whining for legislation they don't really need.

Oh, it's you, Jim. Well, I guess you won't see this. But, fact
remains, the "death of a thousand cuts" was one of the methods the
anti-gun people were trying to use, and soon they won't be able to.
They'll come up with another way to lie, of course, but this takes care
of the immediate threat.
