Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Biden administration's strategy regarding gun manufacturers?

The Biden administration is encouraging seven states and DC to sue gun manufacturers by exploiting legal exceptions to the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), such as the 'predicate exception' and 'public nuisance' laws, rather than seeking a direct repeal of PLCAA.

How does the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) affect lawsuits against gun makers?

PLCAA generally shields firearm manufacturers and dealers from liability for crimes committed with their products. However, exceptions exist for defective products, breach of contract, or if a manufacturer knowingly violated a statute that caused harm (the 'predicate exception').

What is the 'predicate exception' in relation to suing gun manufacturers?

The 'predicate exception' allows lawsuits against gun manufacturers if they knowingly violated a state or federal statute that proximately caused harm. The Biden administration believes gunmakers' marketing and sales practices can fall under this exception.

Which states are involved in the Biden administration's initiative to sue gun manufacturers?

The initiative involves Attorneys General from seven Democratic-led states: New York, New Jersey, California, Pennsylvania, Washington, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, along with the District of Columbia.
