senate 02/06/2025 - 119th Congress

We are working to amend the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act to allow firearm manufacturers, sellers, and trade associations to transfer civil cases against them from state courts to federal courts, potentially leading to dismissal if the cases are deemed qualified civil liability actions. This seeks to standardize the legal process at the federal level for these types of cases.

Finally, a safeguard against frivolous lawsuits aimed at crippling a lawful industry!

This bill is like putting blinders on justice; can't sue the industry, can't keep people safe.

If only Congress moved this fast to protect our kids instead of protecting gun makers.

Moving lawsuits to federal court could mean more consistency, but will it mean more justice?
