Protecting Big Guys from Little Guys

Yesterday there was this, known as the "Cheeseburger Bill," House Votes to Ban 'Obesity Lawsuits' Against Fast Food Industry.

Today there was this, the NRA's #1 legislative priority, Congress passes lawsuit shield for gun industry.

Regardless of you how may feel about the merits of this legislation, anyone notice a similaritiy between the two? at the very least a sense of warped priorities?

At least they didn't try to use Katrina to pass the Cheeseburger Bill the way the NRA shamelessly argued that post-Katrina New Orleans was evidence that the unregulated, billion dollar industry needs extra protection from lawsuits. (?) That's exactly what I was thinking when I watched all the post-Katrina chaos in New Orleans-- we need to give the gun industry special rights!
