SB 123 - This act provides that the design, marketing,
manufacture or sale of firearms or ammunition is not an
unreasonably dangerous activity and does not constitute a
nuisance per se. The act prohibits political subdivisions, as
well as the state, from instituting a lawsuit against any
firearms or ammunition manufacturer relating to design,
marketing, manufacture or sale to the public. The act allows
actions regarding breach of contract or warranty for firearms or
ammunition purchased by a state or political subdivision. Nothing
in the act shall be interpreted as limiting any properly
cognizable action at law or equity by an individual person or
corporation other than the state or a political subdivision.
