Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Mexico Sues Gun Companies in U.S., Accusing Them of Fueling Violence - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM The government accuses gun makers and suppliers of knowingly flooding the market with firearms attractive to drug cartels. Quote In a first, the Mexican government on Wednesday filed a lawsuit in the United States against 11 gun manufacturers and suppliers, accusing them of negligently facilitating the flow of weapons to powerful drug cartels and enabling tremendous bloodshed in Mexico. The complaint, filed in a federal court in Massachusetts, accuses companies including Smith & Wesson and Colt of designing, marketing, distributing, and selling guns “in ways they know routinely arm the drug cartels in Mexico.” “For decades, the government and its citizens have been victimized by a deadly flood of military-style and other particularly lethal guns that flows from the U.S. across the border,” the lawsuit reads. The flood of weaponry is “the foreseeable result of the defendants’ deliberate actions and business practices.” Mexican officials have long blamed gun manufacturers and lax American gun regulations for playing a role in the country’s raging violence. But officials said this is the first time a national government has filed suit against gun companies in the United States. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Can Canada do this as well? A large amount of the illegal guns in Canada are from the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
