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

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