Ending Legal Immunity for Gun Industry; Opening Access to Firearm Trace Data.
This law removes special legal protections that previously shielded gun manufacturers and dealers from most civil lawsuits related to gun violence. Victims of violence will now be able to sue these companies for damages in state and federal courts. Furthermore, official government data detailing the history of a firearm (trace information) will become accessible and admissible as evidence in these civil cases.
Key points
Repeals legal immunity for the firearms industry, allowing victims of gun violence to file civil lawsuits against manufacturers and dealers.
