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.

HR 544 creates a new federal civil lawsuit pathway allowing individuals injured or families of those killed by ghost guns to sue the maker of any component or anyone who facilitated the sale. It directly affects victims, their families, and states/political subdivisions where the injury occurred, targeting manufacturers and sellers of unserialized firearms (defined as ghost guns lacking required serial numbers). The bill establishes a private right of action in U.S. district court for damages, including consequential losses, while including limited defenses for self-defense or police actions responding to imminent threats. This policy change modifies civil liability for ghost gun-related harm without altering criminal law or gun ownership rights.
