Congress Holds Hearing on H.R. 2037 <br>Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act

Thursday, April 18, 2002

H.R. 2037—the bill introduced by U.S. Representatives Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) and Chris John (D-La.) that would shield the firearm industry from politically-motivated lawsuits seeking to hold gun makers liable for the criminal misuse of their products—continues to make headway in the U.S. House of Representatives. A hearing on H.R. 2037 was held Thursday, April 18 before the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection. The bill now has 222 co-sponsors—four more than a straight majority of the House, which should help to ensure passage of this critical legislative remedy to the anti-gun lobby’s flagrant abuse of our legal system if the bill reaches the House floor.
