The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear a significant case involving Mexico's lawsuit against American gun manufacturers, specifically Smith & Wesson and Interstate Arms. This case challenges the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) by accusing manufacturers of aiding illegal gun trafficking to Mexican drug cartels. The outcome could have major implications for the firearms industry and gun control efforts.

This video discusses a significant legal development where Smith & Wesson and Interstate Arms have submitted a brief to the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the lawsuit filed by the government of Mexico.

The brief argues that the lawsuit is an attempt to circumvent PILA and impose gun control measures through litigation.

An appeals court has revived Mexico's lawsuit against several U.S. firearm manufacturers, ruling that the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) does not bar claims alleging a specific type of statutory exemption.

The ruling is seen as a significant challenge to PLCAA protections.

Mexico is refiling a lawsuit against US gun manufacturers, this time in Arizona, after a previous suit was dismissed in Massachusetts. The original lawsuit, seeking $10 billion, alleged manufacturers were trafficking firearms to cartels. The dismissal was based on the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which shields manufacturers from liability when their products are used unlawfully. The new filing targets border counties, attempting to circumvent PLCAA protections.

Mexico has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against several U.S. gun manufacturers and distributors in federal court, alleging their negligent practices contribute to arms trafficking and bloodshed in Mexico. The lawsuit targets major companies like Smith & Wesson, Barrett, Beretta, Colt, and Glock, arguing they are liable for damages caused by criminal cartels. The core of the legal argument hinges on whether the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which generally shields manufacturers from liability, applies to injuries occurring outside the United States.
