Ok, gun violence is bad, I believe that just as much as the next guy, but gun makers should NOT be held liable for —what is done with their product.— The PLCAA (Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act) enforces this principle. It's very simple, if you sell bricks and —one of your customers— buys one and beats someone to death with it, the victim's family should NOT be able to hold you liable. In this situation, the PLCAA would protect you against being sued by the family of the victim, except in real life, it doesn't protect brick makers, it protects gun makers.
It's very simple to understand why would should keep the PLCAA in place and blame the shooter, not the maker of the gun. So please only vote for people who support the PLCAA if you want the government to have common sense in it.
