That is not true. The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act is what we are talking about. That law made it so that the Gun Industry does not have to defend itself against general negligence lawsuits of the same type that caused car manufacturers to adopt safety measures.
Yes you could. You might lose, but you could sue and make your case on why you feel the van's manufacturer is liable for that act. You will not even be given a chance to make your claim against the gun industry because it has been preemptively shielded from such claims. It is most certainly a protection that no other industry in the United States enjoys.
I'll have a look into this in the next couple days. It seems strange that Hillary would claim that changing the laws would bring justice when according to you it would be only if the gun malfunctioned or at least that's what you appear to be saying.
