President Joe Biden delivered his first State of the Union address on Tuesday evening where he called for unity, lauded his domestic wins and announced new action against Russia after Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine.

Here is a fact check of some of the claims Biden made in his hour-long remarks.

Gun manufacturer can't be sued

Claim: 'Look, repeal the liability shield. It makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can't be sued.'

This sweeping statement is FALSE, because gun manufacturers can be sued and there are other industries in the U.S. that do have certain liability protections that prevent them from being sued.

The gun industry does have some unique protections that Democrats are seeking to erode. The 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act made it so gun manufacturers cannot be held liable for the use of their products in crimes. This doesn't mean that the manufacturers can't be sued at all, in fact, they are still held liable for a range of things like negligence, breach of contract in purchase of a firearm, marketing practices and damages due to defects in design.

The Supreme Court allowed a lawsuit against gun manufacturer Remington Arms Co. in 2019 where survivors and families of nine victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting sought to hold the company partly responsible due to marketing practices. The families reached a $73 million settlement with the now-bankrupt gun manufacturer.
