Image Credit: YouTube Screenshot, NBC News In the speech President Biden gave last week calling for new restrictions on gun rights, he made too many factual errors and weak arguments to count. While many have since corrected him on multiple counts, one particularly egregious false claim the president made has somewhat flown under the radar—the gross lie Biden told about gun manufacturers.
“We should repeal the liability shield that often protects gun manufacturers from being sued for the death and destruction caused by their weapons,” Biden said. “ They’re the only industry in this country that has that kind of immunity . Imagine. Imagine if the tobacco industry had been immune from being sued, where we’d be today.
“ The gun industry’s special protections are outrageous ,” the president concludes. “It must end.” “We should repeal the liability shield that often protects gun manufacturers from being sued for the death and destruction caused by their weapons,” Pres.

They’re the only industry in the country that has this kind of immunity. It’s outrageous. It must end. There’s just one problem with the president’s narrative: it’s objectively false and totally disingenuous.
Biden is referencing a 2005 law called the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which does give gun manufacturers liability protections in some circumstances.
But far from outrageous, these protections are actually commonsensical.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
