Protecting the 2nd Amendment is important to many in the Uintah Basin and Senator John Curtis is currently working to increase those protections. Senator John Curtis joined a group of Senate Republican colleagues in introducing the ‘Stopping Harmful and Outrageous Torts (SHOT) Act’. This aims to strengthen the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) to provide enhanced protections to the firearms industry from frivolous lawsuits brought by anti-gun bad actors. “For years, bad actors have frivolously litigated the firearms industry in ways that unnecessarily strain our court system and undermine Americans’ Second Amendment rights,” shares Senator Curtis. “The SHOT Act helps ensure that lawful firearms manufacturers and sellers are not held liable for crimes committed by third parties, while closing loopholes and reinforcing existing legal protections.”
