Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act

This bill repeals key protections in the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act that shielded gun manufacturers from civil lawsuits. It allows victims of gun violence to use federal gun trace data (from the Firearms Trace System database) as evidence in civil court cases against gun sellers or manufacturers. The law makes this trace information discoverable, admissible, and usable in any civil action in state or federal courts, including the District of Columbia. This change directly affects victims seeking legal recourse and gun industry entities previously protected by the repealed law.
