Washington State
HB 2178, which is currently in committee, and 2 of whose 3 sponsors are Democrats:
A person may maintain an action for personal injury or wrongful death against a manufacturer or retailer of violent video or computer games if the manufacturer or retailer has distributed, sold, or rented a violent video or computer game to a person under the age of seventeen and the game was a factor in creating conditions that assisted or encouraged the person to cause injury or death to another person.
US Senate, 108th Congress,
S. 659, which had passed the House 285-140, and which 9 Democrats joined in co-sponsoring, including the current Minority Leader:
A BILL To prohibit civil liability actions from being brought or continued against manufacturers, distributors, dealers, or importers of firearms or ammunition for damages resulting from the misuse of their products by others.
The Senate Bill was brought down last year
only by the successful addition of "poison pill" amendments. I don't know what chances the Washington bill has of passage.
