Bill > SF514

This bill establishes which actions may be brought against firearm and ammunition manufacturers, distributors, importers, trade associations, sellers, or dealers. It defines key terms like "firearm" and "ammunition," and states that the lawful manufacture, distribution, or sale of firearms and ammunition is not unreasonably dangerous, and that the unlawful use of firearms and ammunition is the proximate cause of injuries arising from their unlawful use. The bill prohibits certain types of actions against these entities, such as for damages resulting from the lawful design, manufacture, marketing, or sale of firearms or ammunition, or from the criminal or unlawful misuse of firearms or ammunition by a third party. However, it allows actions for breach of contract or warranty, damages caused by defective firearms or ammunition, and injunctive relief to enforce valid statutes, rules, or ordinances.
