The Supreme Court's decision in Smith & Wesson Brands v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos sent a powerful message regarding gun industry liability. The court affirmed that gun manufacturers are generally shielded under the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), preventing lawsuits unless direct aiding and abetting of criminal acts can be proven. This ruling emphasizes that responsibility for gun violence and smuggling lies with "red flag stores" and governmental border enforcement, not the manufacturers themselves.
