The underlying message is simple: If we bankrupt the gun industry, we make guns disappear and, soon, so too will the gun owners!
It’s called the Protection for Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) and its only purpose is to protect the firearms industry from being sued for the actions of criminals who use such guns to commit their violent acts.
Adam Schiff, who is currently the Chairman of the House Intel Committee and maniacally seeking the impeachment of our president through any means possible, has secretly partnered with one of the most notorious behind-the-scenes puppet masters to effect legislation that will overturn the PLCAA and make it possible for victims of criminal shooters to sue and bankrupt companies who manufactured the firearm.
George Soros’ Open Society has poured over $9M so far this year into this effort and it appears that this frenzied spending in order to influence Congress members has even picked up in recent months. The push to punish the gun manufacturers is the foot-in-the-door, so to say, because what comes next is even more dangerous.
Schiff and Soros are just two players in the grand scheme of things, but they are very powerful. One has the power of enforcement of law in Congress, while the other has his billions to influence on-the-fence senators and representatives.
The Washington Free Beacon:
The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) was passed as a bulwark against frivolous lawsuits attempting to hold gun companies responsible for criminal acts committed by third parties—sometimes decades after the first legal sale of the firearm.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the gun industry’s trade group, pushed to pass the bill in 2005. The group said the legal protections are necessary to keep gun control activists from bankrupting the industry through suits they believe have no legal standing.
“The National Shooting Sports Foundation worked with Congress to get the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act passed with broad bipartisan support and signed into law by President George W. Bush,” Mark Oliva, a spokesman for the group, told the Washington Free Beacon. “This law correctly protects the firearms industry against frivolous lawsuits that seek claims against manufacturers for the criminal misuse of a firearm. Those who commit crimes with a firearm are the ones who bear the responsibility for the horrific effects of their actions. The PLCAA ensures this is the case.”
Oliva compared holding gun companies liable for crimes committed with guns to holding car companies liable for drunk drivers.
“Seeking redress against a firearms manufacturer instead of the criminal is no different than a drunk-driving victim holding Ford responsible for that crime,” he told the Free Beacon.
Schiff previously appeared at a secretive gathering of Democracy Alliance, the left’s largest donor club cofounded by Soros, in D.C. last November. He gave the group a closed-door briefing, the Free Beacon reported. The president of Democracy Alliance, Gara LaMarche, was previously the director of Soros’s lobbying outfit and now sits on its board of directors.
The Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act was introduced in the House by Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) and seeks to “repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, and provide for the discoverability and admissibility of gun trace information in civil proceedings.”
To add to the already clandestine atmosphere, another player in the push toward the ultimate goal of stealing your guns is Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) who is as anti-gun as any of the 2020 Democrat candidates. His tenure as Attorney General in Connecticut while I was residing in that state was rife with scandal and controversy.
Turn to the final page to read about how this trio of individuals is attempting to subvert the 2nd Amendment through nefarious means and what the Bible says about building walls and bearing arms!
Great looking piece Barry!
It’s amazing how little money it takes to buy a democrat politician!
It’s too bad they can’t be prosecuted for accepting a bribe!
How did Adam Schiff become such a predominate Democrat in his first term and elected with around only 100,000 votes and narrowly winning election to Senate? What or who or how much made him a big player in Washington?
