Bill overview
This bill, the Accountability for Online Firearms Marketplaces Act of 2021, aims to hold online platforms that facilitate firearm sales accountable for illegal activity. It amends the Communications Decency Act to remove a legal shield (Section 230) that currently protects online firearms marketplaces from liability for facilitating the sale of guns to prohibited individuals. The bill clarifies that these marketplaces are not immune from lawsuits related to their role in enabling firearm trafficking and circumventing background check laws.
