Chef Jim Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Try this one, then... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_of_Lawful_Commerce_in_Arms_Act The purpose of the act is to prevent firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable fornegligence when crimes have been committed with their products. However, both manufacturers and dealers can still be held liable for damages resulting from defective products, breach of contract, criminal misconduct, and other actions for which they are directly responsible in much the same manner that any U.S. based manufacturer of consumer products (i.e. automobiles, appliances, power tools, etc.) are held responsible. What does this have to do with tort reform in the US? That law probably is tort reform. It's a form of tort reform but a very narrow one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
