Plain-English Summary

The proposal would clarify and potentially expand legal protections that shield firearms manufacturers and retailers from being sued by victims of gun violence or their families. Currently, a 2005 law already provides broad immunity for gun makers and sellers, and this amendment would strengthen those protections further. The change would make it harder for people harmed by guns to hold the industry legally responsible for their injuries or losses.
