In my home state for the last few years pharmaceutical companies are not allowed to buy dinners or give other gifts to doctors. Currently there is a move afoot to repeal this law. Why? Local restaurants have lost business as a result. Amazing isn't it, lack of business trumps bribery.
Taken to the extreme you have to wonder if the Commonwealth should repeal murder laws because it will crimp sales at the local gun shop. Is this too absurd? May be not. There is also legislation pending to limit gun purchase to one a month. Gun owners will just have to suffer with a mere dozen a year. Will such legislation end gun violence? Not hardly, but it is a tool that will help certainly.
So, how's the legislation doing? It's held up. Why? Sales at local gun shops will be hurt, if it is passed. Lets keep priorities clear, gun shop owners and gun lobbies contribute to campaigns; dead people don't.
