Evidence

The House office’s sponsored-legislation page lists Jake Auchincloss as a cosponsor of H.R. 3740, the "Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act of 2025," updated 06/04/25.

Official congressional office record shows Auchincloss actively supported a bill aimed at removing the gun-industry liability shield, but it does not show enactment or repeal of the 2005 law.

The same official office archive lists Auchincloss as a cosponsor of H.R. 4184, described as a bill "to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act" and add gun-trace evidence rules in civil proceedings.

Auchincloss previously backed direct repeal legislation against PLCAA, indicating concrete legislative effort, but the source does not show the law was overturned.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Auchincloss made a concrete federal legislative effort by cosponsoring bills, including H.R. 3740 in the 119th Congress and H.R. 4184 earlier, that would repeal key provisions of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. However, H.R. 3740 was only introduced and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, and the promised outcome, overturning the 2005 gun-manufacturer liability immunity law, has not been enacted. Because the promise was not delivered despite serious legislative effort, this is a failed promise with an effort badge rather than partial fulfillment.
