The 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.
