Mexico Lost Big at SCOTUS & Now Pressing Ahead with Frivolous Lawsuit Against Small Gun Shops - Ammoland.com

 Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum isn’t done with her country’s abuse of the U.S. judicial system. After taking a loss at the U.S. Supreme Court with her country’s $10 billion lawsuit against U.S. firearm manufacturers, she’s still planning to go ahead with a similar lawsuit that is pending in federal court against five Arizona federally licensed firearm retailers.

The U.S. Supreme Court shot down Mexico’s claim that U.S. firearm manufacturers are responsible for $10 billion in damages resulting from the illegal firearm trafficking by narco-terrorist drug cartels. The case, Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc., et al. v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos, resulted in a unanimous 9-0 decision in which Justice Elana Kagan wrote in the Court’s opinion that the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) bars the lawsuit.

President Sheinbaum thinks Mexico has another bite at the apple, though.

Target: Arizona Retailers

“There is another pending lawsuit,” President Sheinbaum said at a news conference, as reported by Breitbart. “This one was against gun manufacturers. There is another lawsuit that is against gun distributors and gun stores. That is the one that we will be working with our legal team to move forward.”

That case she’s referring to is Estados Unidos Mexicanos v. Diamondback Shooting Sports, Inc. Ironically, Mexico alleges the strikingly similar theories of liability in this lawsuit against five firearm retailers that were raised – and rejected – in the lawsuit against U.S. firearm manufacturers. Mexico alleges in their complaint that the firearm retailers, “systematically participate in trafficking military-style weapons and ammunition to drug cartels in Mexico by supplying gun traffickers.” It further argues that the firearm retailers “know or should know that their reckless and unlawful business practices – including straw sales, and bulk and repeat sales of military-style weapons – supply dangerous criminals in Mexico and the U.S.”
