Creates a private right of action allowing lawsuits for damages against makers of ghost gun components and those who facilitated their sale when the gun causes injury or death, so greater liability for those involved in producing or selling unserialized firearms.
An individual who is injured, and any member of the family of an individual who is killed, by use of a ghost gun in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, and the State and the political subdivision of the State in which the injury or death occurs, may bring an action in the United States district court for the judicial district in which the injury or death occurs against the maker of any component of the ghost gun or any person who facilitated any sale of the ghost gun, for damages resulting from the injury or death.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates civil liability for makers and sellers of ghost gun components, which falls under the firearms topic's industry-liability subtag and restricts the axis by increasing legal exposure for unserialized firearm production and sales.
