Mexico sues 11 gun manufacturers and suppliers.

[jknowgood]

"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.

Maybe Obama shouldn't of gave them so many.

You have any prove to support your comment?

Yeah look at Biden's super spreaders crossing our border by the millions now, and they are not tested before they are shipped all across our country.

 

[freyasman]

Thats as fucking stupid as mexico saying "Were suing ford because drug cartels are driving around in ford cars and its irresponsible of them to let cartels drive their cars".

The mexican government should shut up and go back what their good at. Letting illegals come to this country, and using chinese parts to assemble stuff in mexico and put a "made in america" sticker on it to ship to the USA for sale. Oh and making tacos.

I could go for some tacos right now.

 

[freyasman]

Just tell the Sinaloa Cartel if they make this go away, they get a shipping container full of rifles and ammo, lol.



From what I hear, the cartels are more trusted than the Mexican government, anyway.

 

[WTF19]

who ya gonna call--hit-lery...this twat will trade weapons for AMERICAN lives....any day

Won’t go anywhere.

They could sue the Xiden Regime for allowing the open borders which have brought on the human trafficking, gun running, and drug trafficking.

The lawsuit is most likely dead as soon as it reaches SCOTUS. Cartel violence is out of control in Mexico. They are doing what they can to deal with it.

I think it is very disturbing how the gun manufacturers catered to the cartels:

From the NYT's story:

"The Mexican government said in the lawsuit that U.S. gun laws have a direct effect on violence in Mexico. When the U.S. assault weapons ban ended in 2004, the government said, gun makers “exploited the opening to vastly increase production, particularly of the military-style assault weapons favored by the drug cartels.”

LOL

 

[RetiredGySgt]

LOL cartels get fully automatic weapons not semi auto, they buy their weapons from central and south America and the Chinese and Russians.

 

[justinacolmena]

The feds are throwing U.S. lawyers out of court for lawfully supporting the Constitution with their clients, and inviting illegals to file lawsuits without merit, basis, standing, or jurisdiction.

Judge sanctions lawyers for bringing 2020 election conspiracy lawsuit

The magistrate judge said the plaintiffs’ claims, if believed by many, “are the stuff of which violent insurrections are made.”

[lantern2814]

Better add Barry and Holder to that suit. Oops. That would definitively prove that Barry and holder broke all sorts of laws with Fast and Furious.

 

[Obiwan]

Gee, if Mexico is so upset, maybe we should hand Holder and the Magical Muslim Faggot over for trial for their role in arming the cartels with Fast and Furious....

 

[NoNukes]

It's court-martial time. We need our guns in the U.S. Throw the fucking illegals out of court, and disbar their damned attorneys already.

It is such a shame you NEED your guns in the US. What a disgusting country.

 

[Rogue AI]

Is Mexico suing machete manufacturers for all the beheadings and other mutilations? If not, this drama queen case is tanked before it starts.

 

[Claudette]

You're singing to the choir.

I wish they had filed their case in Mexican courts.

Something has to be done. The manufacturers are allowed to flood the streets with their weapons with no responsibility for their actions.

Hopefully they will refile the case in a Mexican court where the United States laws don't apply.

You dumbass. The gun is the tool. The person using it is the weapon. Find a way to get rid of the cartel killers and Mexico won't need to sue anyone.

Manufacturers aren't responsible for how someone uses a gun any more that auto makers are responsible if someone gets into an accident and kills someone using their motor vehicle.

What an idiot you are.

Is this satire?

You think gun manufacturers are illegally selling guns to cartels? No ID or nothin? How do these sales take place? In a parking lot?

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

No...the U.S. government sells the Mexican military guns and members of the Mexican military diverts those guns to the drug cartels........the Cartels also get the guns from Central and South America who buy their guns from the U.S. government....the Cartels also buy their guns from Europe and China, especially the actual military weapons.

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

That is just a stupid statement......the Mexican government is in bed with the CArtels.........American gun makers aren't the problem, the Mexican government is the problem.

 

[2aguy]

The republicans passed laws that prohibit weapons manufacturers from being sued in the United States.

That law can't apply to lawsuits in other nations.

The government of Mexico should have filed that lawsuit in Mexico where the laws of the United States don't apply.

Their lawsuit won't go far in the United States.

Wrong, dipshit.....they banned "law fare," against gun makers. The gun makers can still be sued for product liability issues...you idiot.

You idiots.......the leftists say jump and you say "How High." The Mexican government is the problem......

Moron.......dumb ass.......


The Cartels get military weapons through the Mexican government...who buy our military weapons to fight the cartels....you idiot......the gun makers are not catering to the cartels...but it is nice to see the next lie you shit heads are going to use to attack the 2nd Amendment.......
