SS SB 13 -- LAWSUITS AGAINST FIREARMS MANUFACTURERS

This bill prohibits political subdivisions and the state from
bringing legal actions against firearms manufacturers, trade
associations, or dealers for activities relating to the lawful
design, marketing, manufacture, distribution, or sale of firearms
or ammunition.  The prohibition applies to suits pending as of
the effective date of the bill and all future suits.

An exception allows political subdivisions to file an action
claiming a breach of contract for the purchase of firearms or
ammunition.  The bill also specifies that the lawful design,
marketing, manufacture, distribution, or sale of firearms or
ammunition is not an abnormally dangerous activity and is not a
nuisance per se.
