Subject: Interesting USSC Case Coming Up
From Joyce Vance-

Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos: The Court will decide whether the Mexican government’s lawsuit against U.S. gun manufacturers can move forward. Mexico alleges the gunmakers aided and abetted illegal gun sales to traffickers who provided firearms to drug cartels in Mexico.

Ironically, the case was granted the same week Trump’s Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance said Mexican cartels were bringing guns into the United States. That is not the case, and the Mexican government has registered complaints with Washington for at least the past fifteen years about the opposite—U.S. guns ending up in the hands of cartels. Whether Mexico can redress those claims in court remains to be seen.
