Yesterday, the Oklahoma House of Representatives voted 92-0 to approve House Bill 1004,
authored by state Representative T.W. Shannon (R-62) and state Senators
Brian Bingman (R-3) and Anthony Sykes (R-24). HB 1004 contains
critical protections against attempts to bankrupt the American firearms
industry through erroneous lawsuits that would threaten the availability
of firearms to consumers. This legislation would provide that lawsuits
may not be brought against manufacturers, distributors or sellers of
firearms if such suits are based on criminal or unlawful use of the
product by a third party. However, these protections would not apply to
actions arising from the unlawful sale or transfer of firearms, or to
instances in which the transferor knew, or should have known, that the
recipient would engage in the unlawful sale or transfer of the firearm,
or would use, or purposely allow the use of, the firearm in an unlawful,
negligent, or improper fashion.
