any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything.

CLDF is currently raising the funds and laying the legal groundwork for a lawsuit to protect your 2nd Amendment rights.
In 1999, 76 Texas state representatives and many senators fought for and succeeded in passing S.B. 717, which now prohibits Texas cities from filing frivolous lawsuits against gun manufacturers, retailers, and ammunition producers.
Despite the efforts of Texas legislators, 28 U.S. cities have filed lawsuits against the gun manufacturers and many retailers in an effort to achieve gun control through the courts and ultimately bankrupt the gun industry.
The lawsuits have already had an adverse effect on the gun manufacturers. Colt has announced that because of the lawsuits they will no longer sell certain handguns to the public. In addition, several manufacturers have filed for bankruptcy protection, with more expected to do so in the near future. Most recently, Smith & Wesson signed an agreement with the Clinton Administration that bypasses the legislative process and imposes gun control on Smith & Wesson and the gun stores that buy from them.
The events that have transpired as a direct result of the lawsuits against the gun industry threaten, and may irrevocably damage, the right of Americans to keep and bear arms.
In light of this precarious situation, many of the original sponsors of S.B. 717 have concluded that legal action can and should be taken to protect our rights. As such, a lawsuit will be filed on their behalf, and for the benefit of all Americans, against all 28 cities that have conspired to deprive us of our 2nd Amendment rights.
In addition, several Texas gun stores have expressed an interest in becoming plaintiffs in the lawsuit and will be suing under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Art. 1, §8, cl.3), which forbids state and local governments from enacting laws or policies that place an undue burden on interstate commerce. Based on the Commerce Clause, the U.S. Supreme Court has consistently held unconstitutional state and local laws that seek to regulate business in other states and will certainly frown upon the current attempts.
