mikew Posted August 4, 2021 at 05:36 PM Posted August 4, 2021 at 05:36 PM Mexico sues US gun manufacturers over arms trafficking tollhttps://apnews.com/article/business-mexico-caribbean-gun-politics-8ed1a6e046e635d94f2ce61716752f7a MEXICO CITY (AP) — 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.; Barrett 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. The Mexican government argues that the companies know that their practices contribute to the trafficking of guns to Mexico and facilitate it. Mexico wants compensation for the havoc the guns have wrought in its country. the irony continues here

RECarry Posted August 4, 2021 at 06:16 PM Posted August 4, 2021 at 06:16 PM Where do the drug cartels produce the drugs that lead to constant bloodshed? Innocent Mexicans decided to join violent gangs after seeing a magazine ad? Maybe Hollywood movies and video games inspired a life of murderous behavior.
THE KING Posted August 4, 2021 at 06:18 PM Posted August 4, 2021 at 06:18 PM Maybe the U.S. needs to sue Mexico for the drug deaths in this country.

MagSlap Posted August 4, 2021 at 07:06 PM Posted August 4, 2021 at 07:06 PM Funny thing... The last time over a million people crossed a border without permission...It was called an invasion...Perhaps just another way dems are tearing down this country?But hey! What do I know...I'm just a tax slave. But no more mean tweets right?
2A4Cook Posted August 4, 2021 at 07:17 PM Posted August 4, 2021 at 07:17 PM Why would I not doubt that they were encouraged to do so by the 4th Obummer ... er ... Biden Administration?
Jeffrey Posted August 4, 2021 at 08:00 PM Posted August 4, 2021 at 08:00 PM Why would I not doubt that they were encouraged to do so by the 4th Obummer ... er ... Biden Administration?My first thought was that they wouldn't try to do this under a Trump admin. He would have turned it around likely something like King suggested, or worse.

By what authority could he have done this? Other than appointing federal judges with consent of the Senate, a President has no authority of the judiciary.

The same authority Mexico has in suing gun reps?
SiliconSorcerer Posted August 4, 2021 at 09:02 PM Posted August 4, 2021 at 09:02 PM How many people are actually killed with a firearm, isn't in the bullet?
Euler Posted August 4, 2021 at 11:06 PM Posted August 4, 2021 at 11:06 PM I believe Bersa firearms are the single most popular firearm in all of Latin America, including Mexico. Is Mexico suing Bersa (an Argentine company)?
2A4Cook Posted August 4, 2021 at 11:10 PM Posted August 4, 2021 at 11:10 PM Anyone still doubt that this is now a totalitarian police state??? The Constitution means nothing to these people; they intend to destroy it.
RECarry Posted August 4, 2021 at 11:13 PM Posted August 4, 2021 at 11:13 PM First, we're invaded by Mexican drug cartel members and other dangerous persons. Next comes the invasion by Mexican attorneys? How much will be tolerate?
2A4Cook Posted August 4, 2021 at 11:21 PM Posted August 4, 2021 at 11:21 PM We should all get together and file a class action as American taxpayers against the government of Mexico for being forced to pay for their citizens' education, health care, food and other expenses. Add in a count for driving our wage scales down so low that we have to support our kids because they can't afford to live on their own. True, Trump couldn't have had the case dismissed, but he could have put so many retaliatory economic penalties on Mexico that they'd cry.

Their economy would collapse.

I suspect there was heavy duty corporate bank opposition, or he used it as a bargaining chip to get that border closing agreement he made with Mexico.
