Imposes strict liability on manufacturers and dealers of large-capacity ammunition feeding devices for damages from illegal firearm discharges using them, increasing their legal exposure and potential costs.
A manufacturer or dealer may be held strictly liable in tort, without regard to fault or proof of defect, for all direct and consequential damages to any person injured in person, property or means of support, or killed, if the injury or death proximately results from the illegal discharge of a firearm to which a large capacity ammunition feeding device was affixed thereto and utilized.

Firearmsweapon accessory restrictionsAI label
↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Defines and targets large capacity ammunition feeding devices (magazines over 5 rounds for rifles/shotguns or 15 for pistols) for new civil liability, creating a new legal burden tied to their manufacture and sale.
"large capacity ammunition feeding device" shall mean magazines, belts, feedstrips, drums, clips, or similar devices capable of being attached to or utilized with a rifle, shotgun or pistol as defined in section 265.00 of the penal law and which, in the case of a rifle or shotgun, has the capacity of, or can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than five cartridges, or in the case of a pistol has the capacity of, or can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than fifteen cartridges.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new strict-liability tort cause of action specifically against manufacturers and dealers of large-capacity ammunition feeding devices for harms from their illegal use with firearms. This directly addresses firearms industry liability (imposing new tort exposure) and weapon-accessory restrictions (by targeting high-capacity magazines with heightened legal consequences). Exemptions for military/law-enforcement sales and users do not negate the overall restrictive effect on civilian manufacture and sale. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
