People For Supporter –

While broader gun violence prevention measures are actively debated in
Congress, there is one law they could repeal right now that would help
ensure that gun manufacturers aren’t free from any responsibility in the
wake of shootings.

The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act has been an unjust shield
for gun manufacturers and dealers since it was signed into law in 2005.
The law, which prevents gun manufacturers from being sued by victims in
shooting tragedies, protects their profits as they continue making
products intended for war, not the streets of our towns and cities.

Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act! >>

Most manufacturing industries are understandably held accountable when
their product results in death – not so for gun manufacturers. By hiding
behind federal and state immunity protections, gun manufacturers continue
to create and sell their products – free from any legal liability when
they're used to cause harm or death to one or more people.

The law does provide for some exceptions to gun manufacturer immunity, but
a patchwork of legal cases has demonstrated that challenging the law is
extremely difficult – while victims and families of gun violence are
forced to deal with the consequences of the bloodshed.

Lawful Commerce in Arms Act! >>

With the legal protections offered in the PLCCA, gun manufacturers and
dealers have little incentive to create and implement protection measures
that could improve gun safety. We can and must expect more from gun
manufacturers – and demand that Congress take this important step to hold
them accountable.

Thanks for all that you do,

Zach, People For the American Way
