Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act repeals certain provisions of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act and allows gun.
The Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act repeals specific sections of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which previously shielded firearms trace data from legal discovery and admissibility in civil cases. The bill allows the Firearms Trace System database, maintained by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, to be subject to subpoena, discovery, and use as evidence in civil actions in state and federal courts or administrative proceedings.
