While they are at it they might as well allow people to sue Spoon and Fork manufacturers for making people fat. I am astounded at how low the Democrats sink themselves to pander for v**es. As long as we have a rational SCOTUS and Senate, this won't happen. Rep Adam Schiff D-CA is a perfect example of why CA is in real peril. People continue to blindly elect these morons. At least I think the v**ers are people; they may be i******s, dead, convicted and jailed felons, animals or they may have v**ed more than once.

Democrats Introduce Bill Allowing Shooting Victims To Sue Gun Industry

Democrats Introduce Bill Allowing Shooting Victims To Sue Gun Industry
House and Senate Democrats introduced legislation Tuesday they say will allow victims of gun violence to have their day in court.

The Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act aims to repeal federal protections blocking firearm and ammunition manufacturers, dealers and trade groups from most civil lawsuits when a firearm is used unlawfully or in a crime.

Those protections date to 2005, with the passage of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., one of the bill's co-sponsors, said since PLCAA became law, state and federal courts have "dismissed numerous cases against the gun industry," adding that other cases were likely not brought at all.

Schiff, surrounded by members of gun violence prevention groups including Moms Demand Action, Brady and March For Our Lives, said the purpose of the legislation was to "correct the error Congress made" nearly a decade and a half ago.

There is no law protecting spoon and fork companies they can be sued and if the merits of the case are there the suit will succeed. Why should firearms manufacturers be exempt from litigation when other industries are not?

TrueAmerican

This is the exact type of bill Mitch says not even be heard in the senate --- GOOD FOR HIM !!!!!!

TrueAmerican

Practicing for the i***tolypics again ??????

archie bunker Loc: Texas

I guess I better go see a lawyer tomorrow. I need to sue Ethan Allen because I stubbed my toe on the dresser this morning.

Kevyn

You have that right, as you should, if the case has merit it will not be dismissed. Why should one industry be exclusively protected from lawsuits?

Rose42

So you’re in favor of allowing stupid and/or greedy people to sue. Why am I not surprised

Larry the Legend Loc: Not hiding in Milton

Just the next shot in the war against armed citizens. If they can't 'come and take them', they'll set it up so that the gun manufacturers are sued to financial ruin.

Sick.

archie bunker Loc: Texas

I agree. I'm gonna go after Stanly, Ford, Craftsmon, anyone who makes receiver hitches, and every other company who made a product that I injured myself with.

What business are you in? Do you have a product that can hurt me, or a member of my family? I'll go after that too.

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

People like you going to the polls, it's no wonder California is a socialist s**thole.

teabag09

They really don't need this bill, anyone can sue anybody or business. Winning the case, that's another matter. How are they going to legislate that? Dumb asses. Mike

Kickaha Loc: Nebraska

That's fine and dandy. While they're at it, add in provisions allowing people to sue alcohol manufacturers for drunk drivers, sue car makers for auto accidents, and how about going after the weather forecasters for heat waves, arctic cold, blizzards, tornadoes, etc. It would make as much sense as allowing people to sue gun makers for someone, over whom they have no control, misusing a legal product.

woodguru

This is a pretty stupid concept in general, it doesn't have much merit.
