Videos tagged with Estados Unidos Mexicanos

This video discusses the critical Supreme Court case Smith & Wesson Inc. v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos, where Mexico is suing Smith & Wesson, alleging responsibility for drug cartel violence. The speaker highlights the unusual support for Mexico from an amicus brief filed by several states, arguing that the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) should not shield manufacturers from liability if they engage in 'wrongful conduct.' The core of the legal debate centers on whether the illegal trafficking and use of firearms by third parties can be considered foreseeable by manufacturers, thus circumventing PLCAA protections.
