Mexico Sues U.S. Gun Makers Over Trafficking Issues

The Mexican government seeks to reshape the American firearm industry by suing U.S. gun manufacturers, accusing them of “aiding and abetting” the illegal trafficking of firearms to drug cartels. This landmark lawsuit demands $10 billion in damages and aims to impose significant gun control measures in the United States, such as universal background checks and bans on assault weapons, reflecting Mexico’s frustration with existing Second Amendment protections that limit its ability to enforce stricter gun regulations.

Manufacturers like Smith & Wesson contest the lawsuit, arguing that their business practices are lawful and highlighting a federal law that typically protects them from such claims. This legal battle may not just influence business practices but could also challenge the constitutional framework of gun rights in America. The case, which has already received a green light to proceed in U.S. courts, raises complex questions about liability and corporate responsibility in the ongoing violence linked to drug trafficking.
