To provide a private right of action against the maker of any component of a ghost gun, and any person who facilitated a sale of the ghost gun, for injury or death resulting from the use of the ghost gun.

New right to sue ghost gun makers and sellers

This bill would create a federal right to sue for injury or death caused by a ghost gun used in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce. An injured person, any family member of someone killed, or the State or local government could file in the U.S. district court where the harm happened. They could sue the maker of any component or anyone who facilitated a sale of the ghost gun, and the court could award damages, including consequential damages. A defendant could avoid liability if the harm was caused by self-defense against a reasonably perceived imminent threat, or by a law‑enforcement officer responding to an imminent public threat. A “ghost gun” would mean a firearm without a serial number engraved by a licensed maker or importer, and includes parts kits; the bill would use existing federal definitions for “firearm” and licensed makers.
