"MEXICO CITY — In a first, the Mexican government on Wednesday filed a lawsuit in the United States against 11 gun manufacturers and suppliers, accusing them of negligently facilitating the flow of weapons to powerful drug cartels and enabling tremendous bloodshed in Mexico.

The complaint, filed in a federal court in Massachusetts, accuses companies including Smith & Wesson and Colt of designing, marketing, distributing, and selling guns “in ways they know routinely arm the drug cartels in Mexico.”

“For decades, the government and its citizens have been victimized by a deadly flood of military-style and other particularly lethal guns that flows from the U.S. across the border,” the lawsuit reads. The flood of weaponry is “the foreseeable result of the defendants’ deliberate actions and business practices.”

Mexican officials have long blamed gun manufacturers and lax American gun regulations for playing a role in the country’s raging violence.

But officials said this is the first time a national government has filed suit against gun companies in the United States."

The companies named in the suit are Smith & Wesson; Barrett Firearms Manufacturing; Beretta U.S.A.; Beretta Holding; Century International Arms; Colt’s Manufacturing Company; Glock, Inc.; Glock Ges.m.b.H; Sturm, Ruger & Co.; and Witmer Public Safety Group and Interstate Arms, both gun suppliers.

I am not sure this law suit will go far. However, it is well know that the drug trade with Mexico is a two way street. Mexican cartels sell us drugs and we sell them guns.

The ironic part is that the illegal immigration crisis we are facing from Mexico and Central America is in large part caused by cartel violence. Violence facilitated by American weapons.

In many instances the cartels are as well armed as the Mexican police and the army. The cartels need to be stripped of these weapons.

End cartel violence and the immigration crisis on the border, not completely but largely, goes away.

If the gun manufacturers are catering to the cartels, these manufacturers need to be held responsible for their actions.

It should immediately be dismissed for failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted.

There is no manufacturer duty to alter the designs, marketing strategy, distribution strategy, or sale of firearms strategy to prevent the legal, lawful purchase of firearm, over which the manufacturer has no control and which is within the sole regulatory purview of the BATF/FedGov.

If this case is not IMMEDIATELY dismissed, the United States of America should intervene and sue Mexico for all the healthcare and other expenses of all their illegals who come here and fuck shit up, and EVERY FUCKING STATE IN THE FUCKING UNION should also join in the suit against Mexico. They can't claim lack of personal jurisdiction or sovereign immunity when they have availed themselves of our federal courts.

Pretty stupid move, if you axe me.

The United States should sue Mexico for it's obvious inability to control the drug trade

And, since we know Merrick is a commie stooge, and won't do shit but bend over and take it up the ass, Ken Paxton should join in the suit on behalf of the State of Texas for losses caused by all the illegal Mexicans we have had to support.

And the truth...

Using cherry-picked data taken out of context from a report from the Government Accountability Office, the Times reporters boldly state that “70 percent of the firearms submitted for tracing in Mexico between 2014 and 2018 originated in the United States.” However, that is not what the data says. That’s not the whole picture. It’s the submitted for tracing part that’s misleading – misleading in a big way.


According to the GAO report, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) found that 70 percent of the firearms seized in Mexico from 2014 to 2018 and submitted to ATF for tracing were manufactured in the United States. But the GAO report points out that “ATF does not receive complete data about thousands of firearms, such as those recovered by Mexican states, because only Mexico’s federal Attorney General’s office submits trace requests to ATF.”

That last part never made it into the Times’ story. Why? Because it doesn’t fit their false anti-gun narrative that American-made firearms are flooding into Mexico.

In their response to the story, the National Shooting Sports Foundation pointed out that less than 12 percent of the 30,000 firearms seized in Mexico during 2008 were of U.S. origin.

The NSSF also noted that the actual number of American guns is even lower than 12 percent.

“The ATF has noted that more than 20 percent of the firearms submitted for tracing are duplicates. With such errors distorting the statistics it is clear that even fewer than 12 percent of these firearms originated in the U.S. And of the small number that did come from the U.S., many did not come from retail firearm sales,”

The War on Drugs is inherently illegal, whether in the US or Mexico.
The governments of both countries should all be jailed.
