Gun Liability Limitation
109th Congress, 1st Session
October 20, 2005
The House on October 20, 2005 passed S. 397, a bill to limit liability for gun manufacturers, distributors and dealers. Supported by the National Rifle Association, the bill passed by a vote of 283-144. Only four Republicans voted against S. 397 while 59 Democrats voted for the bill. The vote table below permits sorting by caucus. Most interesting are votes by members of the Congressional Rural Caucus, whose members voted 107-22 for passage, and the Congressional Black Caucus, where 5 members voted for passage. The CBC members supporting S. 397 were all from the South, but not all CBC members from the South voted for passage. Click on Sort at the top of a column to sort for that column.
