Mexico's case against the gun industry

[bearpaw]

Why is it the cartels fault that people overdose on drugs but it’s not gun manufacturers fault people use guns to kill each other?

A manufacturer may or may not be complicit in this crime.

I thought I had seen it all!

Then I guess since cartels prefer to use pickup trucks, then pickup manufacturers must be complicit, since cartels use gasoline in those trucks then gas companies are complicit, since cartels use toilet paper to wipe their behind then paper companies are complicit, since liberals try to block addressing the source of drugs (cartels) then liberals must be complicit?

For my part, I said "may or may not"......it all comes down to intent. Did they manufacture those guns in numbers way beyond a reasonable expectation of American sales, knowing that a surplus could be trafficked in Mexico. Kind of like Big Pharma did with the opioid crisis that they created.....intentionally.

Quit blaming the liberals, they ain't organized to pull off or prevent these kinds of capers.

All you half to do is a little research and see that the US government is one of the biggest arms dealers in the world and were not talking your everyday AR 15 style assualt rifles If the Mexican government got into trouble with another country and needed weapons they probably would have no problem buying them from us to fight their way out of it like Russia telling us we sold to many weapons to Ukraine so we are going to sue your arm manufacturers so they can no longer build weapons

Over half of Mexico's government and governing agency's are nothing more then Cartel members.   Our Court's shouldn't be even entertaining these law suits.

For what it's worth, Catherine Stetson, arguing for Mexico this morning at SCOTUS, got her a** handed to her.

as she should.  the case is silly...

All I’m saying is this, Guns manufactured in the U.S. and being sold illegally in Mexico is not the US problem then why is it that drugs being sold to Americans in the US should be mexicos problem? Ya know what else is a crazy coincidence? Each time the American military invaded a country with a large amount of heroin production we all of sudden got a heroin crisis on our hands back home. Purely coincidental I’m sure. Let’s also not forget the CIA using illegal drug shipments from Central America as a way to fund the Contras in the 1980s. However I agree that the lawsuit will most likely go nowhere and is pretty absurd.

This is all about crippling the gun manufacturers. Sue them until they are bankrupt and they cannot produce more guns. That is the end game, no more guns. I'd bet money that Soros is somehow behind this attempt.

[ghosthunter]

If Mexico can sue over guns, could we not also sue them over drugs coming in?

Seems if allowed it should be a two way street?

Soon those Mexican government/cartel members can buy US citizenship for $5,000,000 and start suing as US citizens

So, you think that the $5M investment doesn't come with extensive background checks? Biden's gone, so that's not going to happen...and you know it. Why say something that's obviously false?
