This is saying that if you make, sell, or otherwise distribute a firearm the state doesn't want in their state, then another citizen can sue you for that. This would create a civil statute and isn'tabout liability in a criminal act, which means it wouldn't trigger PLCAA at all.
If so then the proposed law means absolutely nothing. It's already illegal to sell an "assault weapon" in CA, so if you're injured by someone who illegally purchased such a firearm then you already have the ability to sue them civilly, and the person who illegally sold them the firearm. Looks like grandstanding and an attempt to draw a false equivalency with the Texas law.
