I'm not sure what you're talking about, gun companies get sued all the time as a result of gun violence. The biggest recent example I'm aware of is the Sandy Hook families getting a $73 million settlement from Remington in 2022. Smith & Wesson is currently being sued by some of the survivors from the Highland Park shooting, as well as the Mexican government.
- gregjor 2y agoThe 2005 Federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act broadly protects firearm manufacturers from liability. It does not prevent settlements as in the Sandy Hook/Remington case. It does not prevent civil suits or suits in state courts. But it makes those suits much more likely to ultimately fail in court.
