Gun manufacturers and dealers make huge profits from America’s gun violence epidemic, which kills over 33,000 Americans a year. Yet they have a unique immunity that shields them from accountability for the injuries their products create. Right now people can sue a toy company for an injury from a water gun, or a car company for the injury from an airbag, but they can’t sue a gun company for a death from a firearm. And with 50,000 guns sold to criminals across U.S. state lines each year, it’s time to fix that. The majority of guns sold to criminals come from a small portion of what are known as “bad-apple” gun dealers. It’s time to hold them accountable.
Pass the Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act (H.R. 4399/S. 2469), which would repeal the gun industry’s immunity from being sued.
