AI Summary

This bill amends the General Business Law of New York to hold gun industry members (manufacturers, sellers, importers, and marketers of firearms, ammunition, and related products) liable for creating or contributing to public nuisances through the sale, manufacturing, importing, or marketing of firearms. The bill defines "reasonable controls and procedures" that gun industry members must implement to prevent their products from being possessed, used, marketed, or sold unlawfully. It also provides the Attorney General or local city corporation counsels the authority to bring legal action to enjoin violations and obtain restitution and damages, and grants a private right of action for those harmed by a gun industry member's violations.
