The Spin

Left narrative

The plainest way to impose a cost on the gun manufacturing industry is to repeal the irresponsible PLCAA and subject the industry to liability. This would begin to compel the firearms industry to bear actual, constant, and proportional costs of its reckless overproduction and marketing of guns.

Right narrative

Lawsuits and laws like this will drive the industry out of business, which has been the left's goal all along. It's not even true that the PLCAA gives the gun manufacturing industry immunity from lawsuits altogether. This couldn't be further from the truth, as, like car manufacturers, companies can be sued for selling a product that results in injury.
