The National Association for Gun Rights urges swift action as GOP supermajority prepares for decisive override vote of Kentucky’s “Protection Lawful Commerce in Arms (PLCAA) Clarification Act of 2026.”
Kentucky lawmakers are facing mounting pressure from Second Amendment advocates to override Democratic Governor Andy Beshear’s veto of legislation designed to shield firearm manufacturers from politically motivated lawsuits.
The bill, known as House Bill 78, would provide liability protections for members of the firearms industry, preventing them from being targeted for crimes committed by third parties using their products.
The measure is essential to stopping anti-gun activists from weaponizing the court system to bankrupt lawful businesses.
Beshear rejected the legislation during the state’s veto recess, framing his decision as a matter of public safety and accountability.
However, the National Association for Gun Rights contends the veto undermines lawful commerce and opens the door to abusive litigation intended to cripple the firearms industry.
With Republicans holding a supermajority in the Kentucky General Assembly, lawmakers are expected to reconvene during the final days of the session with enough votes to override the Governor’s decision.
Dudley Brown, President of the National Association for Gun Rights said:
“By vetoing HB78, Kentucky Gov. Beshear must have gotten a call from Michael Bloomberg. It’s time to override him and protect the Second Amendment.”
Brown further expanded:
“Kentucky legislators need to decide if they represent the Bluegrass state, or New York. If they’re elected in Kentucky, they should override Beshear’s veto.”
