Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA)?

The PLCAA is a federal law that shields firearm manufacturers and sellers from civil liability when their products are used by criminals. It prevents lawsuits based on the criminal misuse of a firearm, but does not protect against claims of negligence in design or manufacturing defects.

Does Joe Biden want to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act?

Yes, Joe Biden has stated that repealing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act is a priority and is listed on his campaign website as a key measure in his gun control plan. He previously voted against the act in 2005.

Can gun companies be sued under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act?

While PLCAA offers significant protection, gun companies can still be sued for issues like breach of warranty, breach of contract, or defects in design and manufacture. The law primarily prevents lawsuits stemming solely from a criminal's misuse of a product.

Why did the Department of Defense support the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act?

The Department of Defense supported PLCAA because they recognized that frivolous lawsuits could make it prohibitively expensive for the gun industry to operate. This protection was seen as crucial for safeguarding national security by ensuring the continued viability of domestic arms manufacturers.
