1. The PLCAA has been used as a shield for irresponsible dealers and manufacturers

for far too long. Even when a gun dealer loses a case the PLCAA makes the prosecution extremely expensive and difficult.

In the case of Elizabeth Shirley whose felon son was sold a gun and used it to kill himself and her 8 year old grandson it took ten years and went all the way to the Kansas Supreme court to get a $132,000 settlement from the dealer. How about that, an 8 year old boy is worth $132,000. That's the way things are in gun world.

Still, when the question goes to PEOPLE instead of corrupt politicians owned by the NRA common sense wins out.
