US gun makers ask judge to toss Mexico's $10B lawsuit for 'trafficking weapons to drug cartels' because it could lead to other countries - including Russia - suing over firearms​

• A judge with the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts is considering rejecting a Mexican government lawsuit against U.S. gun makers
• Mexico alleges that weapons made by 11 companies in the state have been trafficked from the U.S. and used in crimes in its country
• Judge F. Dennis Saylor said that if the lawsuit is allowed to go forward, other nations could possibly sue gun manufacturers in the U.S.
• Saylor wondered if Russia can step forward and file a lawsuit if Ukraine Ukrainians is utilizing weapons made by gun companies in the U.S.
• The Mexican government alleges that more that 500,000 weapons from the U.S. have been smuggled from the U.S. on a yearly basis
• It estimates that guns trafficked from Massachusetts were used to commit at least 19,000 murders in 2019

A Massachusetts federal court judge wonders whether proceeding with a Mexican government lawsuit against United States gun manufacturers could lead to other countries suing, as well - including Russia, over firearms used by Ukrainians in the ongoing war.

U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor in Boston raised that prospect as he considered whether to dismiss Mexico's $10 billion lawsuit seeking to hold 11 gun makers - including Smith & Wesson and Sturm, Sturm Ruger & Co. - responsible for a deadly flood of weapons across the border.

Mexico in a lawsuit filed in August 2021 accused the companies of undermining its strict gun laws by designing, marketing and distributing military style assault weapons in ways they knew would arm drug cartels, fueling murders and kidnappings.

Tell them to sue the ATF. Manufacturers aren't responsible for the .gov walking guns to the drug cartels.

It is probably them encouraging the MX government to sue.

If someone could point me to the gun shop in MA that sells the grenade launchers that would be great.

But seriously, they get belt feds and HE stuff from people that steal them from the military when they defect to the cartels. Maybe they should sue themselves.

Sounds like Mexico is looking for more foreign aid. They could end the flow of guns into their country if they and US defended the borders.

But Mexico and Biden regime prefer open borders

 

[Yosemite Sam]

Can we sue Mexico for flooding the USA with
drugs?
or sue for all the illegals crossing the border ?

Just a curious citizen
