Establishment of Reasonable Controls for the Firearm Industry Amendment Act of 2023

This bill proposes adding new civil liability provisions to the District of Columbia's firearm regulations to hold gun industry members accountable for harms caused by unsafe products or inadequate safety measures. It defines "firearm industry members" as entities involved in manufacturing, selling, or distributing firearms and requires them to implement reasonable controls to prevent sales to prohibited persons, stop trafficking, and report lost or stolen weapons. Under the legislation, the Office of the Attorney General and private citizens could sue these companies if they fail to enforce these controls or sell products deemed abnormally dangerous to public safety. The measure focuses on establishing legal responsibilities for the industry rather than restricting the sale of firearms to the general public.
