This 2005 law gave the gun manufacturers and sellers protection from litigation. Sue them out of existence.

Under the PLCAA the gun industry cannot be held liable for the damages resulting from negligence, sop Mar 2021 #24

You obviously believe the gun industry bears no civil liablity for the sale of lethal products that sop Mar 2021 #38
That logic can also apply to brewers and distillers hack89 Mar 2021 #39
If negligence can be proven, then the public has the right to sue brewers. That's how it works. sop Mar 2021 #47
