The unintentional discharge of firearms injured 75,685 Americans and caused the deaths of 776 others in 2000, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). More than 40 percent of those injured every year are age 25 and younger. Accident causes include children playing with guns and negligent manufacturing. A jury held the manufacturer liable when a California boy was accidentally shot when his babysitter attempted to remove a bullet from a weapon. Cases like this hold manufacturers liable for negligence. However, federal law approved in 2005 exempts firearm manufacturers, distributors, dealers and importers from civil liability for product-related injuries and deaths. Gun control advocates expect that the law will be challenged.

The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) enforces federal laws and regulations relating to firearms and explosives. The Gun Control Act of 1968 (also known as GCA or GCA68) is a federal law in the United States that broadly regulates the firearms industry and firearms owners. In the Gun Control Act there is a straw purchase clause. read more
