There is an extreme dislike of the 2nd Amendment by elements on the progressive left. They abhor freedoms and personal responsibilities and feel that government is the solution to everything.
Call them closet socialists, communists, but they are the enemy of freedom.

I wonder what right they will want to limit next?
Illegal searches?
Speech?
Voting?
Just a little nip here and a cut there. Soon you will not recognize whatever it was you started with.
When sellers and manufacturers fail to keep their product out of the hands of crazy then they need to be held responsible too.

This is ridiculous. Nobody wants to ban guns because they hate freedom, that's just asinine. They want guns banned because they have an extreme dislike watching children get gunned down in school shootings day after day.
On one extreme end of the spectrum you could argue the 2nd amendment gives us the right to bear arms (even a home made nuclear bomb lets say), which gives 1 person the ability to kill hundreds of thousands with the push of a button. If nuclear home-made bombs are against the 2nd, then where does the distinction lie? Is your freedom worth the death of children, and if so, how many children can die so that you can have guns?

The Lawful Commerce in Arms Act does not give an advantage to firearms manufacturers that is not enjoyed by every other manufacturer in the world. Beat someone to death with a hammer and see if the victims family can sue Craftsman for making a hammer, run them over with a car and see if they can sue Ford.
This is just another lie from the left like the "gun show loophole" that they can never seem to show happening on camera.

Part of me hopes they do get the law overturned.
The next day I'd have my cousin hit my Jeep while driving his Ford, all in a McDonald's parking lot. Instant Billionaire.
