BOSTON (AP) — Gun manufacturers asked a federal court in Massachusetts on Monday to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Mexico’s government in August arguing that U.S. gun manufacturers and distributors fueled violence in Mexico through their negligent and illegal commercial practices.
Gun maker Beretta U.S.A. Corp. argued there is no basis for the court to exercise jurisdiction over Beretta in the case.
“Plaintiff is the government of Mexico. Beretta is a Maryland corporation with its corporate home, headquarters, and principal place of business in Maryland. And the harm for which Plaintiff seeks redress all occurred in Mexico,” the company wrote in a document filed with the court Monday.
Other gun manufacturers — including Smith & Wesson, Colt’s Manufacturing, Glock Inc., and Sturm, Ruger & Co. — also sought to have the suit dismissed.
Another defendant is Interstate Arms, a Boston-area wholesaler that sells guns from all but one of the named manufacturers to dealers around the U.S.
The Mexican government has argued the companies know their practices contribute to the trafficking of guns to Mexico and facilitate it. The government demanded a number of changes in how the companies do business, and compensation for the costs of the violence.
Beretta argued the Mexican government’s case is thin, saying no factual allegations in Mexico’s complaint connect Beretta’s lawful sales in Massachusetts to the financial and economic harm the Mexican government claims to have suffered in its own country,
“Plaintiff does not allege that the criminals in Mexico used, received, or purchased the firearms that Beretta sold in Massachusetts,” the company argued.

Boston? Hmmmm...I just might check that out.
I know who they should be suing.
His name is Eric Holder.
L
ho = who. I regret the error.
Yeah, what Lurker said.
My favorite is the Mexican slang “vete a la chin***”-vulgar and effective, especially if accompanied by the appropriate hand gesture...
I agree-where is Holder now? He seems to be keeping an unusually low profile...
wait... wut???
Maybe O’Biden’s regime has a deal with Mexico. You help me shut down the gun industry, we’ll open up our border. Honestly not too far fetched in our current state of affairs.
If US companies can be sued by Mexico for the illegal use of their products in Mexico, can’t Mexico be sued for the illegal acts of their citizens in the US? Sounds comparable to me.
Yup, every time some illegal drunk on tequila runs someone over, we can sue agave cactus farmers in may-hee-co.
