LINK Biden wants to end gun-maker liability protections. That could sink the industry, advocates say.

Biden was wrong, Oliva and fact checkers noted, in saying the firearms industry alone can't be sued. Other industries, such as pharmaceutical makers and airlines, have special immunity from some types of lawsuits, and the gun industry does not have complete impunity.

“The gun industry absolutely can be sued,” said Oliva, of the trade industry group. “You just can't sue a gun-maker because someone criminally misused a gun. That would be like suing Ford because a drunk driver killed someone."

This opens up a can of worms. It has the potential to make anything and everyone libel.
