say differently. The F rating means nothing. He voted to exempt gun manufacturers from tort liability, and you just claimed otherwise. That letter you cite is the same excuses for supporting the NRA that the right uses:

In my view, the debate over mass killings should not be only about guns. In my view, Congress must consider a comprehensive approach which also includes a serious discussion about the need for greatly expanded mental health services and ending gratuitous violence in the media.


The problem is not the mentally ill. It's guns. Scapegoating the mentally ill makes it even worse.
