Mexico sues US gun manufacturers over arms trafficking toll
The Mexican government sued United States gun manufacturers and distributors Wednesday in U.S. federal court, arguing that their negligent and illegal commercial practices have unleashed tremendous bloodshed in Mexico.

The unusual lawsuit was filed in U.S. federal court in Boston. Among those being sued are some of the biggest names in guns, including: Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc.; Barret Firearms Manufacturing, Inc.; Beretta U.S.A. Corp.; Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC, and Glock Inc. Another defendant is Interstate Arms, a Boston-area wholesaler that sells guns from all but one of the named manufacturers to dealers around the U.S.

It appears some of those outfits being sued are suppliers for the Mexican army and police. I suggest those manufacturers go all Ronnie Barrett, and stop selling or servicing weapons for Mexico. Barrett itself may be inclined to do so since Mexico uses their .50 BMG platform.

I think Mexico’s time and money would be better spent at home, cracking down on cartels like Los Zetas, which has been armed and equipped — not to mention staffed — by the Mexican army;they are after the smugglers and unlawful users of the weapons. Hey, Mexico could sue their army for trafficking guns to cartels.

The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act should put a stop to this suit but as that report notes, activist judges have begun gutting it. This suit was filed in federal court in Boston, so I don’t expect good things.
