Preventing Gun Violence
With 33,000 Americans dying every year**, Democrats believe that we must finally take sensible action to address gun violence. While responsible gun ownership is part of the fabric of many communities, too many families in America have suffered from gun violence. We can respect the rights of responsible gun owners while keeping our communities safe. To build on the success of the lifesaving Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, we will expand and strengthen background checks and close dangerous loopholes in our current laws; repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) to revoke the dangerous legal immunity protections gun makers and sellers now enjoy; and keep weapons of war—such as assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines (LCAM's)—off our streets. We will fight back against attempts to make it harder for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to revoke federal licenses from law breaking gun dealers, and ensure guns do not fall into the hands of terrorists, intimate partner abusers, other violent criminals, and those with severe mental health issues. There is insufficient research on effective gun prevention policies, which is why the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must have the resources it needs to study gun violence as a public health issue.

Follow the money, I bet the trail of crocodile tears leads strait to Every Town and Brady!
N, I get that, my point was if gun manufacturers can be targeted, which thanks to the PLCAA, they can't, why not other products and other industries that are responsible for far more deaths...No, if you think this will extend to Ford/GM/etc., then you're not seeing the big picture here. Without PLCAA, we no longer have a gun industry in America. Right when PLCAA was passed, the anti-gunners were poised to take down the entire industry. Only through this legislation are firearms as a category of legal products protected from the anti-gun lobby. There is no anti-car lobby.
