That\u2019s the crucial federal law shielding firearm manufacturers and sellers from frivolous lawsuits designed to bankrupt law-abiding businesses by blaming them for the criminal misuse of lawfully sold firearms or drive the industry to its knees and impose gun control through court-ordered settlements. It is what former Clinton Secretary of Labor Robert Reich dubbed \u201cregulation through litigation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-plcaa\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"everytown-comes-out-from-behind-the-curtain\" title=\"Everytown Comes Out From Behind The Curtain\" data-level=\"2\">PLCAA<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-out-of-the-shadows\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"everytown-comes-out-from-behind-the-curtain\" title=\"Everytown Comes Out From Behind The Curtain\" data-level=\"2\">Out of the Shadows<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-victimizing-victims\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"everytown-comes-out-from-behind-the-curtain\" title=\"Everytown Comes Out From Behind The Curtain\" data-level=\"2\">Victimizing Victims<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-plcaa\">PLCAA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gun control advocates have unsuccessfully urged Congress to repeal the law, falsely claiming it provides total immunity from all lawsuits \u2013 a falsehood regularly repeated by President Joe Biden even though the media has fact-checked him and said it is not true. &nbsp;In court, these groups have unsuccessfully challenged the PLCAA\u2019s constitutionality. Attorney General Merrick Garland testified before Congress that the PLCAA was Constitutionally-sound, despite the contrary rhetoric coming from The White House and the gun ban lobby. They continue to ask courts to misapply the law\u2019s exceptions (disproving the total immunity claim). All these efforts are designed to open up a new floodgate of frivolous litigation against the industry not seen since the late 1990s and early 2000s. It was that litigation which the bipartisan PLCAA prevents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the enemies of the Second Amendment have opened up a new line of attack on the PLCAA. Surreptitiously led by the Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety, they have convinced a few \u201cBlue\u201d antigun legislatures to pass an unconstitutional \u201cpublic nuisance\u201d (anti-PLCAA) statute. These statutes attempt an end run around the PLCAA to set the table for a renaissance of reckless lawsuits against members of the industry.

Lopez, in NSSF\u2019s challenge to Hawaii\u2019s unconstitutional \u201cpublic nuisance\u201d law. This puts Everytown Law in an active role, not just a supporting role, of defending unconstitutional laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NSSF is committed to preventing Everytown and other gun-grabbing organizations from destroying our industry and with it, the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a blatant display of its true intentions, Everytown has now stepped out from behind the scenes and onto center stage to defend Hawaii\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitol.hawaii.gov\/sessions\/session2023\/bills\/HB426_HD1_.HTM\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"everytown-comes-out-from-behind-the-curtain\" title=\"Everytown Comes Out From Behind The Curtain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>House Bill 426<\/strong><\/a>. This legislation seeks to impose vague and unenforceable \u201creasonable controls\u201d on firearm products produced outside of Hawaii. It grants state officials, organizations and private individuals the power to unleash civil lawsuits against firearm industry members for the actions of deranged criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everytown\u2019s court appearance in support of this bill is a glaring confirmation of its active role in undermining the PLCAA and burdening the firearm industry with stifling regulations that threaten the Second Amendment altogether. This maneuver not only tramples on the rights of responsible gun owners but also heaves an unfair burden onto small businesses struggling to navigate an already complex legal and economic landscape inherent in operating with a Federal Firearms License (FFL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-victimizing-victims\"><strong>Victimizing Victims<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everytown\u2019s Affirmative Litigation Counsel, Alla Lefkowitz, is pivotal in the group\u2019s campaign against the PLCAA. Formerly associated with the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, Lefkowitz\u2019s history of spearheading legal action against firearm businesses is alarming. The&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thereload.com\/analysis-the-unethical-way-brady-used-a-shooting-victims-family-in-a-stunt-lawsuit-member-exclusive\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"everytown-comes-out-from-behind-the-curtain\" title=\"Everytown Comes Out From Behind The Curtain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">infamous case<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;involving the Phillips family is a prime example. The Brady Center urged the family to bring a baseless lawsuit against Lucky Gunner, a firearm business, following the tragic murder of their daughter by a mentally ill criminal in Aurora, Colo., in 2012. Brady urged the family to sue without disclosing that both Colorado law and the PLCAA prevent such civil actions and left the family to fend for itself when its lawsuit predictably failed and, under Colorado law, they were required to pay the defendant\u2019s attorney\u2019s fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result? The Phillips family was left bankrupt. This case underscores how gun control organizations like Everytown and Brady are ready to&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2017\/08\/aurora-lawsuit-brady-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"everytown-comes-out-from-behind-the-curtain\" title=\"Everytown Comes Out From Behind The Curtain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">exploit grieving families\u2019 emotions<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;to advance their ideologies, even at the cost of justice and fairness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everytown\u2019s masquerade as a champion of responsible firearm regulation is a sham. Their actions speak louder than their hollow words. By actively participating in \u201cpublic nuisance\u201d lawsuits and championing laws like Hawaii\u2019s HB 426, Everytown lays plain its intention to undermine the PLCAA and smother the firearm industry with irrational restrictions that only erode the Second Amendment rights of Americans and do nothing to make communities safer. Their track record of manipulating tragic events for their own political gain is morally reprehensible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>True advocates for responsible firearm ownership must critically examine Everytown\u2019s motives and actions to ensure genuine safety and justice prevail. Everytown\u2019s tactics prioritize radical politics over the well-being of families and small businesses. It is imperative to unmask these deceitful ploys and stand against any agenda that threatens civil liberties and the integrity of industries that serve law-abiding citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
