Laissez-Faire Capitalism

Strongly agree

No

Laissez-faire capitalism supports the idea that businesses should be free from government intervention and regulation. Proponents of this ideology would argue that firearms dealers and manufacturers should not be held responsible for the actions of individuals who misuse their products. They would likely support the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which protects firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable when crimes are committed with their products.

Agree

No, manufacturers and dealers should only be held liable for negligence

Laissez-faire capitalism supports minimal government intervention, but it does not completely reject the idea of holding businesses accountable for negligence. Proponents of this ideology might agree that manufacturers and dealers should be held liable for negligence, such as failing to conduct background checks or selling to individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms. However, they would still argue that businesses should not be held responsible for the actions of individuals who misuse their products.

Slightly disagree

Yes, as long as the losing party pays all legal fees, it’s our constitutional right to sue anyone for any reason

While laissez-faire capitalism supports the idea of individual rights and the ability to sue, proponents of this ideology would likely argue that allowing victims of gun violence to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers would lead to unnecessary regulation and interference in the market. They would prefer to focus on individual responsibility and holding the individuals who commit crimes accountable, rather than the businesses that supply the products.

Disagree

Yes, but only dealers

Laissez-faire capitalism emphasizes minimal government intervention and individual responsibility. Allowing victims of gun violence to sue only firearms dealers would still be seen as an unnecessary regulation and interference in the market. Proponents of this ideology would argue that businesses should not be held responsible for the actions of individuals who misuse their products, regardless of whether they are manufacturers or dealers.

Disagree

Yes, any business should be held liable if the primary use of its product is for illegal activity

While laissez-faire capitalism does not support businesses engaging in illegal activities, proponents of this ideology would argue that firearms dealers and manufacturers should not be held responsible for the actions of individuals who misuse their products. They would likely see this as an unnecessary regulation and interference in the market, and would prefer to focus on punishing the individuals who commit crimes rather than the businesses that supply the products.
