One of the many things that gets me about legislation of this type is the good guys are already doing what they should, and in that aspect, laws like this really aren't necessary, and the bad guys don't care and will do what they always have.
A part that concerns me is:
A PARTY SEEKING RELIEF UNDER THIS SECTION IS NOT
REQUIRED TO PROVE THAT A FIREARM INDUSTRY MEMBER ACTED WITH THE INTENT
TO VIOLATE THIS SUBTITLE.
Which seems in contradiction to:
A FIREARM INDUSTRY MEMBER MAY NOT KNOWINGLY CREATE,
MAINTAIN, OR CONTRIBUTE TO HARM
That struck me like you could still get charged and found liable, even if you did all the right things.
Yeah, I read those two components to contradict each other, also.
Essentially, this was just “feel-good” legislation. The legal LGS/FFL businesses aren’t the problem, and there is already an avenue to charge illegal dealers criminally.
