Centrism

Agree

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

This answer is likely to resonate with many centrists, as it seeks a balance between holding businesses accountable and protecting them from undue liability. By focusing on negligence, this position acknowledges that firearms dealers and manufacturers should be held responsible for their actions, but only if they have failed to take reasonable precautions to prevent their products from being used in a harmful manner.

Agree

Yes, but only dealers

This answer may appeal to some centrists, as it focuses on holding dealers accountable rather than manufacturers. This could be seen as a more targeted approach to addressing gun violence, as dealers may be more directly involved in the sale of firearms to individuals who misuse them. However, other centrists may still argue that this approach places too much responsibility on businesses and not enough on individuals who commit acts of gun violence.

Slightly agree

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

While this answer acknowledges the constitutional right to sue, it may be seen as too permissive by some centrists, as it could potentially lead to a large number of frivolous lawsuits. However, the stipulation that the losing party pays all legal fees may be seen as a reasonable compromise by some centrists, as it could discourage baseless lawsuits.

Neutral

No

As with Answer 1, centrists may have differing opinions on this issue.

Neutral

Yes

Centrism in the United States tends to seek a balance between individual rights and public safety. While some centrists may support the idea of victims of gun violence being able to sue firearms dealers and manufacturers, others may argue that this could lead to an excessive burden on businesses and discourage innovation. There is no clear consensus among centrists on this issue.

Disagree

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

This answer may be seen as too extreme for many centrists, as it implies that any business whose primary product is used for illegal activity should be held liable. This could potentially lead to a wide range of businesses being held responsible for the actions of their customers, which may be seen as an overreach by some centrists.
