Summary of Bill HR 3993
Bill 118 hr 3993, also known as the Ghost Gun Violence Prevention Act, aims to address the issue of ghost guns, which are firearms that are assembled from parts without serial numbers, making them untraceable. The bill proposes to provide a private right of action against the maker of any component of a ghost gun, as well as any person who facilitated the sale of the ghost gun, in cases where injury or death results from the use of the ghost gun.
This means that individuals who have been harmed by a ghost gun would have the ability to sue both the manufacturer of the gun components and anyone who helped sell the gun. This private right of action would allow victims or their families to seek compensation for damages resulting from the use of a ghost gun.
The bill is aimed at holding those responsible for the creation and distribution of ghost guns accountable for the harm they cause. By allowing victims to pursue legal action against these individuals, the bill seeks to deter the production and sale of ghost guns and prevent future incidents of gun violence involving these untraceable firearms. Overall, the Ghost Gun Violence Prevention Act is a measure designed to address the growing concern surrounding ghost guns and provide a means for victims to seek justice and compensation for the harm they have suffered as a result of these dangerous weapons.
