Here is the reply I received from Florida Senator Bill Nelson to an email I sent urging support of S.659:

Dear Mr. :
Thank you for contacting me regarding S. 659, the Protection of Lawful
Commerce in Arms Act.
As you know, S. 659 seeks to prohibit civil liability actions from
being taken against manufacturers, distributors, dealers and importers of
firearms or ammunition for damages when guns have been improperly used.
Currently, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary is reviewing S. 659.
Similar legislation (H.R. 1036) has been introduced in the House.
Although I am not a member of the Judiciary Committee, I will keep your
views in mind should this legislation be considered by the full Senate.
While I support the constitutional right to bear arms, I also support
efforts to reduce gun violence and promote firearms safety. Every effort
must be made to ensure that our children, and society at-large, are
protected from firearms violence. I appreciate your letter. Your
communication helps me serve you better in the Senate.
************************************************************
Does anyone else read this and see any indication of support for S. 659?
