It Sure Looks Like the Supreme Court Is Going to Make the Anti-Gunners Cry

The Supreme Court on Tuesday heard arguments from lawyers in Mexico's $10
million lawsuit against American gun manufacturers.

The Mexican government alleges that U.S. gun manufacturers are responsible for
fueling drug cartel violence in the country due to their marketing practices.

Democratic attorneys general have sided with the Mexican government, claiming
that manufacturers like Smith & Wesson, Colt, Glock Inc., Ruger, and three
others should be held accountable for cartel violence in Mexico.

Conservatives have loudly criticized Mexico's lawsuit, arguing that its
government is simply using these companies as a scapegoat for a problem it has
failed to solve. They argue that allowing a foreign government to infringe on
the Second Amendment through our court system only grants them more power than
they should have.

Mexico claimed that U.S. gun manufacturers design, market, and distribute
firearms to criminal organizations. Its government accused these companies of
knowingly facilitating illegal gun trafficking into the nation, thereby arming
the cartels.

Well.. May I just say that if, and that's a big if, they could actually show the companies are doing that, then they might have a case, but I'm pretty sure the only sales those companies have made to Mexico are for Government purchases or Government approved gun dealers. Companies are not responsible for any illegal actions taken with their products.

During oral arguments, the Supreme Court seemed skeptical of Mexico's insistence
that U.S. gun manufacturers should be held liable for cartel violence.

Really? As if the US gun manufacturers are running the cartels and telling them what to do?
But ok.. we will counter sue the Mexican government for enabling their criminals to smuggle drugs, money and people into our country and all crime that results from that. .
