We all know that organized crime and gang activity have increased in Mexico in recent years, making it a very violent area, especially in recent years. What steps has the Mexican state taken to overcome this, then? Not much, but it made the decision in 2021 to sue several gun manufacturers and distributors in the United States for at least$ 10 billion.

The novelists ‘ business procedures, according to the lawsuit, frequently caused a “deadly flood of military-style and various particularly devastating guns” across the border, and these organizations are “fully on notice of the large trafficking of their weapons into Mexico” but haven’t done anything about it.  ,
Mexico also asserted that a Mexican citizen’s own domestic laws make it nearly impossible for them to acquire a gun. Yes.  ,
The petition has since been dismissed by the majority of the businesses, but only two, Interstate Arms and Smith & Wesson, have remained. Until now.  ,

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of the lawsuit, citing the 2005 law enacted Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act ( PLCAA ). In essence, it shields gun manufacturers and vendors from being held accountable when users misuse their goods.  ,
 , according to the Supreme Court order:
In light of that law, Mexico’s problem does not blatantly suggest that the accused producers supported and facilitated Mexican smugglers ‘ illegal revenue of firearms. The problem sets a great standard for itself, to begin with. It does not specifically identify any specific criminal transactions that the defendants ( allegedly ) assisted, as most aiding-and-abetting claims do. Rather, it presents a more general allegation: that all the manufacturers support a number of illegitimate renegade dealers in violation of a number of laws. That charge’s widespread nature only serves to exacerbate Mexico’s problem. To succeed, it must be supported by defamatory, widespread, and guilty accusations of widespread assistance.  ,

Lastly, Mexico’s claims about style and selling decisions are untrue. Although Mexico focuses on the production of “military design” assault weapons, these items are commonly available and can be purchased by regular people in Mexico. Just because Mexican gang members also favor these guns, companies may be charged with supporting criminal acts. Similar to firearms with labels or symbols in Spanish that refer to Mexican history, but they may be” coveted by the cartels” and appeal to “millions of law-abiding Latina Americans.” Yet the failure to produce weapons with non-defaceable serial numbers cannot demonstrate that manufacturers have” joined both mind and side” with criminals in the manner necessary for assisting and assisting.  ,
The Supreme Court ruled against Mexico’s bad faith complaint filed by Smith & Wesson, a company of firearms, seeking billions in damages for its own gang violence problem. In this case, SAF filed an essential Amicus Brief that succinctly outlined the serious danger lawsuits like this… photograph. Twitter.com/2B9qYWbJc— SAF ( @2AFDN) June 5, 2025
In fact, this is a major victory for the Second Amendment and a testament to the power of periodic corrective action ( PLCAA ) in Congress.  ,

It’s even amusing how Mexico doesn’t want something that could possibly be breaking its rules to cross its borders from the United States, right? Where have I previously heard that phrase?  ,
