Gun lobby has lots of money to bribe congress.

They wont allow gun violence victims the right to go to court and be heard. Cases are dismissed based on that law. No other business has that protection. Why are they so afraid of letting juries hear the evidence.

I'm in favor of the right to bear arms but not for shielding
gun manufacturers and dealers from negligence.
once again

Our ruling

Clinton said the gun industry is "the only business in America that is wholly protected from any kind of liability."

Clinton is talking about a law that says the gun industry is protected from liability in certain instances, but the law also specifies several situations in which the gun industry is susceptible to lawsuits.

Further, Congress has passed a number of laws that protect a variety of business sectors from lawsuits in certain situations, so the situation is not unique to the gun industry.

We rate Clinton’s claim False.
