Andrew Cuomo Has A Plan To Sue Gun Makers Into Bankruptcy (And Kill The Second Amendment)

In his Rose Garden address in April, President Joe Biden called for legislators to enact new gun control provisions, while he also made the highly dubious claim that gun manufacturers couldn’t face lawsuits.

“This is the only outfit that is exempt from being sued,” Biden suggested referring to the firearms industry. “If I get one thing on my list — (if) the Lord came down and said, ‘Joe, you get one of these’ — give me that one. Most people don’t realize, the only industry in America, a billion-dollar industry, that can’t be sued, exempt from being sued, are gun manufacturers.”

That has never actually been the case, but Biden was likely referring to the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), also known as “The Child Safety Lock Act,” which does protect gun manufacturers from being held liable in cases when people commit crimes using their products.
