As NSSF puts it, gun makers are no more liable for a shooting than Ford is for a drunk-driving crash or a knife company for a stabbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congress passed the PLCAA after seeing anti-gun politicians and activists try to bankrupt the firearm industry through civil lawsuits, calling the effort an attempt to \u201ccircumvent the Legislative branch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ongoing-legal-battles\"><strong>Ongoing Legal Battles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even two decades later, the PLCAA remains under attack.
