John — For 17 years, the gun industry has had blanket
protections from civil liability under the Protection of Lawful Commerce
in Arms Act (PLCAA). Put in lay terms, it means gun dealers and
manufacturers are immune from lawsuits, and victims can’t sue them in
court.

This unique immunity is like no other in our nation. Quite frankly, it’s
absurd. Car manufacturers, food producers, and tobacco companies all have
to meet a safety standard and act with due care — or else they run the
risk of being sued.

So why are guns any different? Because some politicians, for decades,
prioritized profits over people. That’s why they’ve bent over backwards to
protect the NRA and any other gun lobbyist who will write them a campaign
check or endorse them in exchange for legislation PLCAA.

It’s inexcusable, and as a result, we’ve endured a seemingly endless
stream of mass shootings and the everyday gun violence the news headlines
miss that take the lives of our friends, our family, our children, and our
neighbors. With zero accountability. Or justice for families.

Five of the largest gun manufacturers made over one billion dollars in the
last decade from selling assault-style weapons to civilians. While our
nation’s bloodshed has increased exponentially, their profits have also
skyrocketed, and yet the industry has complete legal immunity from civil
lawsuits by victims and families even when their negligence contributes to
the problem, all because of PLCAA.

That must change, and it’s why I have repeatedly introduced legislation to
repeal PLCAA, the Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act.

The NRA is already attacking me and working to prevent this bill from
passing, which is why I’m reaching out. Keeping our Democratic House
majority is critical to ensuring this legislation not only gets passed,
but makes it to President Biden’s desk.

With that in mind, I’m humbly asking:

attacks, defeat NRA-backed Republicans, and protect our Democratic

Thank you, really. This legislation means a lot to me and to the
President, who identified it as his top gun safety reform. Ultimately,
we’ve got to put people and kids above politics and profit.
