Mexico is back suing US gun manufacturers

Postby daleamn on Mon Jul 24, 2023 5:17 pm

Here's a link to the news report from Reuters:
Mexico urges US court to revive $10 billion lawsuit against gun makers

The phrase 'go pound sand' comes to mind.

Remember our Attorney General Keith Ellison had Minnesota chime in as being in favor of this lawsuit on the side of Mexico and against the US gun manufacturers. Several other states did likewise.

I also remember an episode of one of my favorite TV shows, NCIS: Los Angeles, having an episode that was kind of a hit piece on US gun sellers pandering to Mexican gun buyers. It was episode 19 of season 13 titled 'Live Free or Die Standing' which first aired in May 2022. Disappointing.

Majority of confiscated guns come from Mexican military and police. We will pay up after they sue their own government first.

If they want it stopped, maybe they should control their dang border and citizen’s desire for guns?

Kind of like they tell us whenever we complain about drugs and illegals?

By the way. There is only one legal gun store in Mexico. Which means, there shouldn't be any guns at all.

I dunno.

I’ve met quite a few Mexicans while hunting overseas.

If you are middle class or above over there, it seems not uncommon.

More like the one legal gun shop is making a killing off sales to all these folks as a government monopoly.

The US should sue Mexico for the cost of all the illegal immigrants that cross our border.
