Good for Mexico for suing U.S. gun makers (barf alert)
LA Times ^ | 15 aug 2021

Posted on 08/16/2021 8:23:54 AM PDT by rellimpank

The U.S. is the indirect armament supplier for deadly drug wars in Mexico and the gangsters of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. The American appetite for illicit narcotics draws drugs northward; the “iron river” of weapons flows south; Mexican and Central American society is torn apart by terror and murder; desperate refugees of gang violence come north. Traffic both ways is heavy. So is the death toll.

Mexico vs. Smith and Wesson was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Defendants include Beretta, Century Arms, Colt, Glock, Ruger, Smith & Wesson and Interstate Arms.

Predictably, the small arms industry responded to the suit with shock, derision and denial. Gun advocates insisted that the Mexican gangsters use guns made in China or India, not here. And besides, they argue, a lawsuit is a waste of time and money, and is doomed to failure. From their reaction you’d think Mexico had demanded something truly crazy, like, say, a border wall.

The LA Times is appalled that anyone would want weapons to defend themselves against invading illegals, including MS13 members, Taliban sympathizers, drug cartels, and prisoners released from jails in foreign countries.

How many states in the US have Republican majorities in their state governments? I think it’s close to 30.

How about all 30, or whatever the number is, sue Mexico for all the opiod/heroin/fentanyl related deaths that have occurred in those states?

That’d be a nice counterpoint to this nonsense.

Eric Holder should be extradited to Mexico to face charges of mass murder.

Where are they going to sue them? Federal law prohibits lawsuits of firearms manufacturers for unlawful use of their products.

Barack Obama ATF Scandal: 8 Facts About Fast and Furious You Might Not Know

Gun-buyers, many of whom the feds suspected were criminals, were permitted to take firearms purchased in the U.S. and walk into Mexico without interference from agents; the intention was that once the guns were sold to powerful drug cartels, the ATF would later trace the firearms. Whistleblowers and investigators, however, found no attempt to trace the guns.
