Gun Manufacturer Legal Immunity + Exceptions to PLCAA

YouTube Caption:
Gun manufacturers in the United States have special civil immunity broadly protecting them from being sued for crimes of those who used their products. We asked a Second Amendment legal scholar to explain how it works and the exceptions to the gun manufacturer's immunity. Join us as we discuss the limits and developing law around suing gunmakers with Professor Jody Madeira from Indiana Bloomington School of Law. Prof. Madeira discusses the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), its implications, and the notable cases that have challenged this immunity.
