Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
I love interviews
[….]
9:33 AM · Mar 17, 2023

Some of the responses:

You also love running
[….]

As long as the questions are soft.
[….]

On a network that admits it lies to their viewers?

“Faux News channel, fascist groupies” – protest sign, circa 2003- 2004.

But do you know what Fox News hosts say about you behind your back?

Do tell.

*friendly venues only

You challenged him? LOL Dude, have you listened to yourself interview? It’s pathetic. You asked him questions. There was no challenging going on. At the end, he asked you if you could start the interview. He didn’t even take you seriously.

You love running out of the Capitol too don’t you?

We bet you do, anything besides doing actual work.
#losers

I love Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. #Resign #Jan6thInsurrection

I bet you get tough questions on Fox News. How did you handle it Josh? We’re so impressed.

#FoxNewsIsAThreatToDemocracy
#FoxNewsLies
#GOPClownShow

You love attention.

Why? You look ridiculous in all of them.

We know. Believe me, we know.

I think you mostly love yourself. [….]

I don’t love election deniers.

so you are calling out a guy for going after people who like free speech….by calling out the guy for exercising his free speech. the irony is just, too much.

Just curious, is there another state in the country that has TWO ass-clowns in the US Senate? Or are we just the lucky one.

Yesterday, from Josh Hawley (r):

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Joe Biden will probably visit Silicon Valley Bank before he visits East Palestine
8:29 AM · Mar 13, 2023

Some of the responses:

Which one will you visit??

Why would Sen. from Missouri visit Ohio?

He lives in Virginia. Already been to Ohio:

Virginia. Ohio. Same difference. (April 28, 2022)

And Sen. Karen McRunnypants, who helped create both catastrophes, of course, would run away from both.

You don’t even live in the state you are an elected senator. What hypocrisy.

Josh rarely leaves his comfort zone

How’s the weather in Virgina?

Doubt that he will visit the bank..

The bank situation is the greater threat to the country.

Josh, shut up. Seriously your lame retorts are just that…lame. keep runnin buddy
[….]

Don’t you have work to do for our country? Please do something for your constituents other than spending time tweeting judgement. Do something which makes me feel good about my tax dollars paying for your amazing healthcare and other benefits. Jesus.

Hmm train regulations rolled back, bank regulations rolled back. Wonder who did that?!

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

Is this the part where Republicans pretend like they didn’t roll back Dodd-Frank provisions for smaller banks like SVB, and their supporters didn’t cause the run on SVB? The cycle of Democrats cleaning up Republican messes continues.

Both are disasters caused by reckless dismantling of regulations by you and your ilk.

Any legislation planned? Didn’t think so.

How many times have you been there? How many times have you visited the border? Has being photographed standing in either place solved anything?

Havent seen you at either place. Such concern.

Maybe worry more about doing a good job for the people of Missouri and spend less time being a mouthpiece for the party line.

Virginia. Ohio, last April.

Where are you running off to, today, Hawley?

Still running away from tourists?

#treasonweasel let the Ohio electeds worry about Ohio; why don’t you run on back here and listen to YOUR constituents? We’ve got things to say to you.

Will you visit Missouri anytime soon like ever. I live in the state that somehow elected a Virginian to represent Missouri. Tip of the cap to you for getting over on the rubes.

Risky and Reckless.

Republicans deregulated both industries and now pretend to complain when bad stuff happens

Josh Hawley will probably hold a town hall in Virg….. wait what state do you pretend to live in? Oh Missouri.

Trump visited to cause chaos and get attention.
How did that help?
He’s already forgotten his visit, along with the names of his wives and kids.

What do you want him to do? Pass out expired food and water? Sign Biden hats? Buy McDonald’s?

Btw trump never visited a single train derailment in 4 years. Neither did his transportation secretary.

But do tell me how Trump’s rollbacks on trains and banks have left us.

Where are you from, MO? Keep your nose in your own state. [….]

Virginia.

Maybe Trump should visit SVB, and explain how wonderful it was that he rolled back Dodd-Frank?

Tucker must have been busy with something else

About to join @seanhannity #FoxNews – tune in
8:19 PM · Mar 7, 2023

It figures.

Some of the responses:

Gross, no.

Let the lying begin!

That’s not a news channel.. it’s more like the WWE.

You do comedy now? [….]

Why were you jogging down the hallway?
[….]

Not a chance. Lies don’t appeal to me. Why do you like them?

Yup, cause that’s where lying cowards go to spew crap. You are a disgrace.

Hey Josh if they were just tourists then why we’re you running?

Who cares running boy?

Are you excited about that or something? You should be ashamed to be seen on FOX, but it’s not like you have any moral standards.

Will you be offering Sean free legal advice for his defense in perpetrating the big lie when evidence shows he knew it was a big lie and he carried on with it anyway?

More gaslighting josh? U run on 1/6 out of fear but then say”it was just tourists”. if it was just tourists, why run? Cops died and u lie.

Faux Propaganda. Fixed it for you.

Hard pass on watching insurrectionists

I hope he asks you about the last time you were in Kansas City.

Heh.

What will you be lying about tonight?

Why did you run like a coward from the so-called tourists on Jan 6? You’re a hypocrite.

Wackadoodles talking to Wackadoodles.

We all remember you running for your life as as the Repub thugs smashed their way into the Capitol, Hawley. But you won’t condemn them even now because you’re nothing but a punk.

Wow josh you don’t get many positive replies on your tweets. I don’t think people like you too much

Republicans will continue to repeat the same lies over and over until the 2024 election, in hopes that the ignorant believe them.

Yesterday:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Merrick Garland has turned the DOJ into a political hit team for Joe Biden. There is no more impartial DOJ – the White House is using law enforcement to do its bidding
[….]
6:57 PM · Mar 1, 2023

Some of the responses:

Did you do track in high school? Wondering, on account of your gait

No, he isn’t. Jeeshus, you even run away from the truth.

He runs to FOX to yap

Ironic, yes?

It’s really giving a combination of hypocritical and ridiculous assertion. Y’all act like Donald Trump isn’t a criminal who deserves every bit coming his way. He’s gotten away with far too much, for far too long.

Bullspit Senator. You would have no problem if you hadn’t followed a grifter blindly for four years and abetted his sedition on 6 Jan.

oh you are talking about Barr??? Yes he turned the DOJ into a joke at Trump’s request. He was Trump’s personal lawyer. There was no DOJ. Grow up Josh.
Can’t wait wait until you are voted out. or jail first.

running to Fake News….of course…. Josh….[….]

You are one of the reasons Fake news (as Trump now calls them) is being sued. You spread lies, misinformation, disinformation and discord.

Did you say that with a straight face?

Bill Barr is laughing at you.

What do you do again?
I know you’re a runner, but is there anything else?

You guys should do Trumps DOJ first.
That’s when all the crimes happened.

What do you mean you’re not??
There are no real laws??

well sht.

How is your time in the insurrection mile these days?
[….]

[….]
Sanctimonious prick, Josh Hawley, needs to be deposed w/ this same tone about every detail of his seditious conspiracy before J6 & conspiratorial cover-up & lying after. No one plays lying, performative jackass better than Josh & Ted.
They know Garland won’t indict a Senator.
[….]

You are a joke

Coward of the Senate. Your words flutter like an extinguished flame. Your spark will fade without recognition.

Hit team? You mean like the J6’ers who hit Capitol Police with flagpole bc you weaponized lies about the 2020 Trump election loss?

Have you no shame?

No. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

Ridiculous performative lies by a coward who should be run out of the Senate. You’re not fit to hold office.
[….]

Bit unusual for a potential suspect in the investigation of seditious activities around January 6th to be questioning the Attorney General.

You are spewing nonsense. People are not above the law because they are politicians or associates of politicians with links to crimes.

Bill Barr…..

” Hold my beer “

Liar.

Not true. And you clowns are rude in your questioning. All posture. Not time for answers.

FBI has shown They don’t have to follow The Rule’s and The FBI is above The Law’s.

Evidently victims of possession.

Insurrectionist.

Hey Josh…show us how fast you can run again.

At least real clowns are funny. You’re not.

Hmmmmm. Stay aside kid. Adults are chatting.

why does the GOP project their own bad work

They consider that a feature, not a bug.

Run josh run. Lie josh lie. #coward

This insurrectionist is all crickets on Bill Barr

You are a fascist!!

Ah yes. Straight to Fox.

“Faux News channel, fascist groupies” – protest sign, circa 2003- 2004.

um, you don’t have to look far to find the most crooked DOJ ever with Trump’s team…The GOP projects like this, as if we forget their horrible truths.

It’s gaslighting on an industrial scale.

Because Ukraine should just throw sticks and rocks to dismantle the Russian invasion

Define globalist, Josh. Explain your dog whistle to us.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

This morning:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Billions to Ukraine, no oversight. The neocons and globalists learned nothing from Afghanistan. I am introducing legislation to create a special oversight watchdog just for Ukraine – track every penny – and report to the people where it’s going
[….]
8:56 AM · Feb 27, 2023

Some of the responses:

You are a traitor and a putin loyalist

“Россия” (Russia) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.

The sky is falling – Monday’s edition
[….]

putin will love this

Could you also develop an oversight committee to track where all of your salary is spent? Because Missouri is NOT getting their money’s worth from you in the job you are doing.

Hi Mr running man! How’s the jogging?

Josh Hawley is a #RussianAsset

What is a globalist?

A term used as a dog whistle.

Run Josh Run.

When does your committee on how to organize a coup and overthrow a government and stop a fair and partial election meet?

January 5, 2021.

Equating Ukraine to Afghanistan is breathtakingly cynical and mendacious – a new low even for you.

How about an oversight committee to investigate your part in trying to overthrow the 2020 election!

Hawley – yet another GOP Russian asset.

There is oversight and the military and non military aide is making a huge difference in helping Ukraine defend their homeland. I remember when republicans stood for countries that fought for their freedom.

Self-promote much?

Always.

Were you one of the ones against oversight of the PPP loan program?

Run Josh Run.

You are a cowardly fraud.

Translation: I’m doing nothing except making appearances on right wing news shows and tweet-whining.

Same routine different day. Bit yawn Josh.

Josh has a book to sell.

It’s almost like you hate democracy.

Almost?

You realize most Americans think you are a clown.

Heh.

Ah yes, yes, the man who ran away like a coward, speaking on topics he has no idea what they mean. How much is Putin paying you, seditionist?

Why is a US Senator pushing Russian propaganda?

it’s a lie to suggest there is no oversight Running Man.

Josh is so spoiled that he doesn’t even recognize the value of democracy in Ukraine…or even here at home.

I’d like a little oversight……do you actually reside in the State you represent?

“Hawley doesn’t even live here”

Heh.

Traitor who cut and ran says what?

Again with the anti-semitic dog whistles. Very embarrassing for Missouri, Senator. STL has a large jewish community who deserve better. #VoteBlue2024

Neocons? 48 GOP senators; 37 voted in favor of aid to Ukraine. 150 plus GOP House members voted in favor of aid to Ukraine. They are not “neocons” or “globalists”. They are the majority…of your party. Only a supporter of authoritarian rule would support the Russian invasion

Are you trying to help Putin? #Traitor

There is oversight. You are lying. Administration knows exactly where that money goes. Btw helping to fund Ukraines fight together w our western Allies is a bargain in degrading Putin’s military might. Its a prepayment to saving democracy. Unless of course I U care less abt that

There’s plenty of oversight, Little Running Man seditionist, traitor and antisemite. You just don’t like Democrats overseeing the spending in an effort to defeat your pal Putin.

Nothing much has changed in 84 years

“…We with American ideals demand that our government shall be returned to the American people who founded it…” – February 20, 1939

Today, from Josh Hawley (r):

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
The Republican Party can be the party of Ukraine and globalists or the party of East Palestine and working Americans. Not both
9:22 AM · Feb 24, 2023

Some of the responses:

This is exactly why you’re unfit for your job. The two are not mutually exclusive. Oh, and the Christofascist dog whistle and treason too — but mostly this tweet.

Buddy one of your most visible members has spent the week laying out her vision for the country to split up.

Walking and chewing gum is hard, isn’t it, Josh?

A U.S. senator can champion the peaceful transfer of power or can raise a fist to a seditious anti-police mob. Not both.

I’m sure the GOP can walk and chew gum at the same time, Senator, even if you can’t.

The political leaders who gutted safety rules for trains carrying hazardous materials are the same political leaders doing Putin’s bidding in Ukraine. You don’t think we see you, running man?

Why do you think so poorly of America?

Wow. You really think the greatest nation on earth, with all our American exceptionalism can’t do two things at once? Like cheer on insurrectionists and then run from them on the same day?

Are you serious? Now, who exactly does this play to? If you are listening to this man please pay close attention to this con-man-style rhetoric and what he must think of you. #FlemFlamMan #CarpetBagPolitics

Fascist pigs are always serious.

That’s a crock, Josh. Just admit it, you want Putin to be Putin anywhere he pleases. Zelenskyy is the modern day Churchill.

This is absolutely the most asinine comment I’ve ever seen from you! If you are trying to incite & mislead, you are getting in the lane of @RepMTG and @Jim_Jordan. Do you want to go that low?!

Josh (r) considers that a feature, not a bug.

You’re from the party of traitors. Take a seat and stay there, or run, like you did on January 6.

It is astounding how little you believe in the capacity of our country to do great things. Our Greatest Generation understood that. You? You cower under its weight.

We can and should do both. You can’t have one without the other.

I’m pretty sure that, right now, it’s the party of “live the exact way I want you to live or I’ll try to slowly strip away your rights until you comply”.

You can be a coward or you can be brave, but you can’t be both – you’ve proven to be a coward, obviously (see video of you sprinting to safety on 1/6 after pumping your fists in solidarity with your insurrectionists).

The Republican Party can’t be the party of Ukraine and globalists or the party of East Palestine and working Americans because the Republican Party is the party of Putin and the party of oligarchs and fascism.

You’re an insurrectionist and a spineless coward. Sit back down.

Or the Republicans could just move to Moscow since they enjoy spending the 4th of July there.

Josh Hawley can either be a traitor or a traitor, or both.

Heh. We see what you did there.

The Party that reduced regulations so their donors made more money want to be the party of the people that got hurt by their action…

or you could just say the republican party and putin are one

“Россия” (Russia) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.

Johs Hawley sure is acting like a Russian intelligence asset and propaganda shill…

Actually you’re the party of insurrectionists, traitors and immorality
#RUNNINGMAN

We have always been both, Josh. You are just too disinterested in history to realize it. Do better, #Missouri.

Trump changed the rules that led to the train company avoiding upgrading its braking system. The GOP owns responsibility for the disaster. Deregulation is not good for the country. You also align with Putin, which is also against America. Not surprising for someone with 1/6/21.
[….]

You have no idea of America’s part in democracy and the world. Especially, democracy. You should be in jail for sedition.

That’s really sad that your party cannot handle paying attention to foreign policy and infrastructure at the same time. Though I suppose it’s to be expected since you typically fail to handle either one on their own.

Your party created the conditions that caused the mess in East Palestine. Your party has always put biz business over working Americans. That’s why Dems have always been the party of working Americans. So don’t try to con people.

You, however, can be both an insurrectionist AND a coward.
[….]

If the GOP can’t figure out how to support Ukraine’s fight for democracy/sovereignty, help our fellow citizens in Ohio & legislate stricter laws & oversight to the railroads so this kind of preventable tragedy doesn’t occur again, then step aside. This is literally your job.

See here’s the thing, in order to be in government for a country such as the US one needs to be able to balance work at home with Diplomacy over seas. This is why you can’t win the popular vote in the presidential election, you’re incapable of doing the job.

“globalist” Josh you and I both know what that’s coded to mean what kind of audience are you after?

Not both? Man. I wish we had elected people that could do more than one thing at a time.

Let’s fix that…
The Republican Party can be the party of Ukraine and globalists or the party of Putin. Not both

You are the party of running away

How do you live with yourself? You are ok with letting innocent people in Ukraine die in order to score political points. You are the worst of the worst.

Why not both-both are national priorities-defending democracy and helping those who face an environmental disaster because a corporation tried to cut corners to make money-Republicans do not care about anything but power!

Narrator: He means Jews

This is the very best tweet you’ve ever made. It’s really simple – take care of America first.

Uh…

The Republican Party helped to roll back the safety regulations that would have prevented the derailment in East Palestine. So since all the @GOP keeps saying they stand with East Palestine I guess that means you will all be voting yes to put back in those safety regulations

Speak for yourself. I have empathy for the people of Ukraine. And want to help any country wanting Democracy.

According to #Ladderboy when Russia wants Alaska back… I guess we just give it to them.

Josh can be a cheerleader for the insurrectionists and a track star at the same time.

Thank you Sen. Hawley for playing into the hands of the Russian Federation

Why would you limit America’s potential? Oh yeah, you are driving a wedge to separate people.

Globalist. John Birch called. They want 1964 back.

This morning:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
No time to visit East Palestine, Ohio but plenty of time for this
[….]
10:09 AM · Feb 20, 2023

What an ass.

Some of the responses:

Do you see how efficiently MAGA uses the US supporting its allies in Europe and standing up to Putin as a wedge to campaign against Biden? Do you see how closely aligned trump and Putin’s interests are? And how they have been since putin illegally helped trump take power in 2016?

Will Trump be holding JD’s hand in East Palestine or vice versa?

Your party deregulated the rail industry, and declined the use of hazardous materials cars even after you saw the disaster in Canada where an entire town was burned to the ground. Dewine got federal assistance after delaying asking for it. All you do is lie.

They consider that a feature, not a bug.

ok insurrectionist

See you got the Republican memo.

When did you last live in Missouri?

Valdimir Putin approves of this tweet.

You are not a serious person.

So when will you be visiting East Palestine, Ohio, Josh? They’re waiting for you.

It’s a relatively short hop from Virginia.

Why aren’t you in Ohio Josh? Full of great photo opportunities.

He was.

Josh Hawley: No time to work, but plenty of time to tweet and do Fox News hits.
[….]

Says the senator that can’t find Missouri on a map.

All hail the King of the False Equivalency, Joshua the Fearful!

Why do you want Russia to win so badly, Josh?

Fascist pig, gaslighting, Josh Hawley, MATURE Act, right wingnut, S.419, U.S. Senate, Virginia

You guessed it.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Josh Hawley (r) introduced a bill, not naming a post office:

S.419 – A bill to require social media platforms to verify that all individuals who create an account on the platform are age 16 or older, and for other purposes.

Sponsor: Sen. Hawley, Josh [R-MO] (Introduced 02/14/2023)
Committees: Senate – Commerce, Science, and Transportation
Latest Action: Senate – 02/14/2023 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
[….]

From S.419 – MATURE Act – introduced by Josh Hawley (r)

Josh Hawley told us all about it on social media:

There is only one true clause to the one true Amendment, everything else is just noise. (February 14, 2023)

There is something very interesting in the bill text:

From S.419 – MATURE Act – introduced by Josh Hawley (r)

[….]
(2) AGE VERIFICATION PROCESS REQUIRE10 MENTS.—The requirements specified in this paragraph are, with respect to an age verification process and a social media platform, that the platform require any individual who attempts to create an account on the platform to provide the platform with—
(A) the individual’s full legal name;
(B) the individual’s date of birth; and
(C) a scan, image, or upload of government-issued identification of the individual that verifies the information required under subparagraphs (A) and (B).
[….]

Dude, you can’t constantly whine on social media about social media corporations’ failings and then introduce a bill which would require their users to give those same corporations their legal name, date of birth, and a copy of a government ID.

Josh Hawley (r) is a maroon. And an ignoranimus.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

In 2019:

Demographic and temporal trends in transgender identities and gender confirming surgery
[….]
Regardless of specific prevalence rates, most studies demonstrate two clear trends: (I) growth in the proportion of TGNB [Transgender and gender non-binary] self-identifying individuals over time; and (II) a higher proportion of TGNB identities among the younger generations. Flores and colleagues note that their 2016 estimate of the percentage of transgender-identifying adults in the U.S. is double their 2011 estimate, which they attribute to improvement in survey methods (11). Arcelus et al. also describe a general increase in TGNB individuals in Europe within their study period. Greater visibility and acceptance of TGNB individuals, and as a result, greater willingness to self-identify as TGNB and seek transition, may contribute to these trends.
[….]

FEBRUARY 3, 2022
What the data says about gun deaths in the U.S.
[….]
In 2020, 54% of all gun-related deaths in the U.S. were suicides (24,292), while 43% were murders (19,384), according to the CDC. The remaining gun deaths that year were unintentional (535), involved law enforcement (611) or had undetermined circumstances (400).
[….]
Gun murders, in particular, have climbed sharply in recent years. The 19,384 gun murders that took place in 2020 were the most since at least 1968, exceeding the previous peak of 18,253 recorded by the CDC in 1993. The 2020 total represented a 34% increase from the year before, a 49% increase over five years and a 75% increase over 10 years.

Today:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Today I’m introducing legislation to allow victims of gender reassignment drugs and surgeries to SUE doctors, clinics, and universities involved – give victims a voice
4:07 PM · Feb 15, 2023

Bigot.

Some of the responses:

What are you going to do for the victims of gun violence at the hands of a 12-year-old in Missouri?

So Republicans who are against lawyers being able to sue people are now in favor of it when it comes to anything around gender? Pick a side and stick with it.

He picked “bigot”.

GOP loves to cap medical malpractice. Let’s see what you do here.

We need to be able to sue for the COVID shot also. We were not given adequate disclosures. I had a very hard time with the second shot in particular and I am still having chest pains despite being an Iron Man triathlete.

It’s all about you.

Why are you suddenly so interested in Missouri? Oh, I get it…
@LucasKunceMO !!!!

Josh Hawley virtue-signaling on your tax-dollars America. He knows, you know, we all know this legislation will go nowhere fast. Josh doesn’t care, your paycheck is his call to perform for the cult and America’s needs be damned.
[….]

Instead of introducing useless legislation that meddles other people’s lives introduce a legislation that bars coward seditionists from holding public office and then resign
[….]

So, you’re off the porn habits of virile young men train??

Fixed: Today Josh Hawley gives bigots a stronger voice and takes steps to further deny healthcare to the trans community.

Can gun victims sue?
That’s an actual crime.

You don’t know or even care about any actual transgender people, do you?

Why don’t you go concentrate on an actual problem. Leave people alone

Run Joshy Run. Do what your best at, instead of interfering with people’s lives.

Wait! I thought inflation and immigration were the most dire issues of the election!!!

Why can’t you mind your own business?
Seriously, how important is this in the realm of governing a nation?
How about the impoverished? What about the homeless? Are you denying the dead at MSU, Uvalde, and Sandy Hook?
These are all day to day problems Senator. What about them?

Can you add victims of gun violence being able to sue retailers?

Now do ‘Gun Violence’

So Women forced to have babies should be able to sue the politicians who created the laws? Outstanding!!

No one should be forced to do anything they don’t want to do

Good, let’s do gun manufacturers next. Your stupid outrage over a procedure chosen by someone is not the same as being slaughtered by a gun just by going to school or to the store. You make me sick.

How about giving workers the ability to sue their employer for lax covid policies?

Right. Because these are the real issues Americans are facing [….]

And…bang! Just like that, inflation is solved.

Can’t you do actual worthwhile work?

No. This has been another edition of “Short Answers to Simple Questions”.

Let’s see. Kids can have all the guns they want, but not a social media.
And now, people who voluntarily had gender reassignment can sue the doctor they paid to do the job they wanted.
Your priorities are really screwed.

I am so glad you are working on the important issues and ignoring the small issues like war, global environmental disaster, and unifying the country.

Sarcasm. Probably.

So, based on this, victims of gun violence should be able to sue gun manufacturers and anyone who participates in the sale of a gun, right??

But you have no problem with Kids getting shot to death with assault weapons. FY.

Thoughts and prayers.

How does this lower the price of gas and eggs? How does this prevent mass shootings? Your clown show has become tiresome for Americans on both sides of the aisle.

That’s really stupid
Now do face-lifts

Gun violence is the leading cause of death of young people. What are you doing for them?

Thoughts and prayers?

Gun Industry Immunity
[….]
In 2005, Congress passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA),1 a federal law that provides broad immunity from many lawsuits to manufacturers,2 sellers, and importers3 of “qualified products,” meaning firearms, ammunition, or component parts of a firearm or ammunition.4 For these purposes, PLCAA provides general immunity from lawsuits to federally licensed manufacturers, federally licensed firearm dealers and importers, and entities engaged in the business of selling ammunition at the wholesale or retail level.5 (This immunity also extends to certain firearm and ammunition industry trade associations).6

Generally, PLCAA prohibits plaintiffs from bringing what the law calls “qualified civil liability actions” against these industry defendants. “Qualified civil liability actions” are civil or administrative proceedings for damages or other relief brought by any person, including a governmental entity, “resulting from the criminal or unlawful misuse” of firearms, ammunition, or firearm or ammunition component parts by the plaintiff or a third party.7
