A Massachusetts District Court Judge has dismissed Mexico’s $10 billion lawsuit against six out of the eight named American gun manufacturers that the country argues are responsible for firearms flooding south across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Initially filed in 2021, Mexico argued that the U.S. companies, all of which have denied wrongdoing, were undermining Massachusetts’s strict gun laws by selling weapons they knew had a chance of being smuggled across the border.

To be fair, the judge should have allowed the lawsuit to go on, but the defendants should be the Obama DOJ for Operation Fast and Furious, not the gunmakers. How could the gunmakers know we have a corrupt government?
ReplyDeleteAgreed - it wasn't the gun manufacturers, it was out government employees who KNOWINGLY allowed the sale to go through and be sent TO A FOREIGN country to arm illegal drug cartels. These U.S. officials have names, addresses and are still around to have legal actions taken.
DeleteJudge should have tossed it stating that if Mexico can't stop the flow of drugs and illegal aliens crossing the border then no person or company in the U.S. bears any responsibility for what flows illegally in the other direction.
ReplyDeleteOkay, lets sue mexico for $50 billion for allowing invaders and their citizens to cross illegally into US. Invaders that steal, assault, rape and kill our citizens.
ReplyDeleteWhat was it we used to say in the Corp in the 60's? I think it was Fuck em.
ReplyDeleteBet taxing remittances 75% to bring them in line with the rest of us tax slaves would be out pf the question.
ReplyDeleteWait a minute.
ReplyDeleteSo mexico has standing to sue American companies over legal gun sales, but TX don't have standing to sue other states for election malfeasance?
I thought the cartels mostly use full-auto guns, and other military weapons that fall under the NFA. They obviously aren't buying those in gun stores - but they can bribe Mexican police and army to "lose" weapons in the direction of the cartels, often weapons that the US government _gave_ to Mexico.
ReplyDeleteSo far as I know, except for a few of the Fast and Furious guns - non-NFA weapons that the US government ordered the gun stores to sell to purchasers the gun stores were suspicious of - no one has ever collected serial numbers from guns capture from the cartels and ran a trace in the USA. I have to conclude that's because they already know what that would reveal, and don't want it to happen.
