Republican Party

Strongly agree

No

The Republican party has historically opposed allowing victims of gun violence to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers. They argue that these businesses should not be held responsible for the actions of individuals who misuse their products. The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, passed by a Republican-controlled Congress in 2005, is a prime example of this stance.
