Hageman	H001096	hageman.house.gov	hageman	https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases	scraper	Washington DC – Today, Rep. Hageman introduced the PLCAA Federal Jurisdiction Act which would strengthen the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act’s (PLCAA) protections for the firearm industry against abusive litigation intended to undermine the Second Amendment. The bill amends the PLCAA to allow firearm industry defendants to remove a case against them to federal court to ensure a more consistent application of procedural rules and litigation timelines. Rep. Hageman stated, “Activist groups have long ago learned the technique of using the courts to block what they don’t like. By filing frivolous lawsuits in Democrat-run state courts, the hope of these activists is to bankrupt gun manufacturers. By amending the PLCAA so that defendants can remove a case to the federal courts, these cases can be heard and adjudicated faster and with less volatility. Our 2nd Amendment is under constant attack by gun control fanatics – we must fight to protect that right in every way possible. “I am thankful for the support of bill cosponsors, Reps. Clyde (GA), Fry (SC), Gosar (AZ), McClain (MI), Ogles (TN), and Weber (TX), and I look forward to seeing this legislation become law.”	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-08T01:14:16Z
