The anti-gun industry has been trying to find a way around the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms act for years now. The PLCAA became law back in 2005 with bipartisan support for very good reason. The concept behind the law was simple and straightforward; a gun maker shouldn’t be held liable for criminal misuse of a firearm they legally made and sold.
That’s just common sense, right? If a gun maker produces and sells a handgun that’s sold through all of the normal distribution channels — including, of course, a GCA-mandated NICS background check and form 4473 for the retail buyer — they shouldn’t be put in legal jeopardy if that gun is later lost, stolen, misused or otherwise ends up resulting in death or injury.
