The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act
& Child Safety Lock Act

The PLCAA provided the gun industry with immunity from most tort liability.
These prohibited a “qualified civil liability action” a civil or administrative action or proceeding brought against a manufacturer or seller of firearms or ammunition, from the action resulted from the criminal or unlawful misuse of a qualified product by the person or a third party, with certain exceptions. The CSLA is codified at 18 U.S.C. § 922(z). Was this one a win?
Or a loss ?
