Leading the charge against the Second Amendment is California Representative Adam Schiff. Outraged that firearm manufacturers can’t be held responsible for the acts of criminals, the staunch Democrat is demanding an end to the gun industry’s “immunity” and hopes to open the way for frivolous lawsuit after frivolous lawsuit against them.
“‘Congress passed a unique form of immunity for only one industry — and that is the gun industry,’ Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told The Hill in an interview.
‘If you’re a carmaker and your airbags kill someone, you’re potentially liable,’ continued Schiff, one of the lawmakers behind the gun control bill. ‘If you’re a pharmaceutical company and sell faulty drugs, you can be held liable. If you’re a liquor store and sell alcohol to minors, you can be held liable.’
‘Why should it be any different for gun manufacturers?’ he asked.
Congress approved the controversial Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act in 2005. It is intended to protect the gun industry from frivolous lawsuits.
The new bill would repeal these protections. Schiff is teaming up with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) to build support for the legislation on Capitol Hill. He recently sent a Dear Colleague letter calling for an end to ‘immunity’ for the gun industry.”
