NSSF Factsheet: Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA)

Despite political rhetoric to the contrary, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) does not grant the firearm and ammunition industry immunity from suit different than that enjoyed by other industries.  The PLCAA was enacted by a broad bipartisan margin in response to the dozens of frivolous lawsuits orchestrated and largely funded by gun control groups solely to put gun companies out of business based on circumstances entirely beyond their control. Members of Congress need to hear how this crucial law is what stands between law-abiding industry members and gun control advocates that want to punish the industry for the illegal actions of criminals.
