Agree
No
Johnson's stance on gun control was more about regulation and less about liability. His signing of the Gun Control Act of 1968, which regulated firearms at a federal level but did not hold manufacturers or dealers liable for gun violence, suggests he would likely disagree with the idea of victims suing firearms dealers and manufacturers.

Disagree
Yes, as long as the losing party pays all legal fees, it’s our constitutional right to sue anyone for any reason
Johnson's approach to gun control was regulatory, not litigious. While he might support the right to sue in general, there's no evidence to suggest he would support victims of gun violence suing firearms dealers and manufacturers, especially with the added stipulation of the losing party paying all legal fees.

Strongly disagree
Yes, any business should be held liable if the primary use of its product is for illegal activity
Johnson's approach to gun control was focused on regulation, not assigning blame to manufacturers and dealers for the illegal use of their products. His signing of the Gun Control Act of 1968, which regulated firearms but did not hold manufacturers or dealers liable for gun violence, suggests he would likely strongly disagree with this statement.
